High Availability

[irtaza9]

I want to achieve the HA for my services. Is there any way to achieve this by using dokploy?

Hi, yes you can achieve HA using dokploy, however you need a external load balancer, probably in the next weeks i will make a guide, people on discord asked the same, but yes is possible

i think the issue will be syncing data within the nodes , like app file changes , and database .. ( hint : shared volumes )

maybe rclone may help here

[Siumauricio]

I'll suggest to use stateless applications instead of trying to achieve HA with databases...

[irtaza9]

we need a guide on HA for applications and databases which will definitely help everyone, Also it will add more value to this amazing product. It is not a big deal to add external lb/HAProxy but your suggested way and guide will make a priority.

[Siumauricio]

For databases I have never tried it, but surely the guide I make will be for applications only.

@Siumauricio any update on this?

It would be beneficial to add the usage of swarm and remote server in HA, also a check box to setup replica database whilst setting up the database either within the swarm or remote servers whichever is the correct way to do it

Implementing a complete HA (High Availability) solution, as mentioned before, including shared storage across machines—even for the database, not just the application—would be ideal. Anyway I encountered issues because setting up HA with Docker Swarm for my volumes is quite challenging, and there doesn’t seem to be a "standardized" approach for achieving this.

i found this solution, haven't tested as i have a mysql container running in one of the node, you can try https://github.com/jnidzwetzki/mysql-ha-cloud/blob/main/docs/deployment-docker-swarm.md
