Description

Is is possible to have a master and a slave Rudder server? Example. Our wiki's are physically located on a different location. All changes in our main wiki are synced nightly. In that case we have always a backup on a remote location. Would it be already possible or would it be an idea to be able to do this with the Rudder server as well?

Hi Dennis,

If I am correct, you would like to have a failover mechanism on the Rudder server, to have a backup copy of your main Rudder server in case of a failure ?

That is correct.

  • Category deleted (13)
That would require having at least four elements:
  • A master / slave or master / master ldap service (Quite easy with slapd)
  • A master / slave PostgreSQL service (harder, especially because PostgreSQL takes quite a big load of hits because of the reporting)
  • A new instance of the Rudder webapp.
  • A synchronization of Rudder's variable filesystem part (/var/rudder/configuration-repository)

This would need to be documented. Does that seem reasonable to you Dennis ?
