Juju 'destroy-environment' destroying more than it should

[Helder Martins]

Description:

* I bootstraped a new environment in my home computer, and started several services
* In my work computer, I tried to bootstrap to the same environment, but I noticed that a new instance was created
* 'juju status' in my work computer would return none of the services created in my home computer, so I assumed it was safe to destroy the enviroment
* But it was not, it destroyed all my instances and services, even those that wasn't listed in the first place.

In the meantime, could someone explain to me how can I boostrap to an existing envirmonment? I can't find that info anywhere.

Thanks!

Delving through the bug list, this is probably a duplicate of #1229275. But I would be glad if someone could answer my question.

You can't "bootstrap" to an existing environment, as you only
bootstrap 1 time. However, you should be able to share the environment
between multiple machines by copying the
~/.juju/environments/$ENV_NAME.jenv file.

You'll need a reasonably new version of juju for it to create the
sharable .jenv file (I think it was introduced in juju 1.16).
