Hello everyone!
My friend and I have each bought an optiplex server. Our goal is to selfhost a web app (static html) with redundancy. If my server goes down, his takes over and vice versa. I’ve looked into Docker Swarm, but each server has to be totally independent (each runs its own apps, with a few shared ones).
I can’t find a solution that allows each server to take over and manage loadbalancing between the two. Ideally with traefik, because that’s what we’re currently using. To me the real issue is the DNS A record that point to only one IP :(
This is the correct answer. Healthcheck for each host to remove a dead endpoint from rotation.
The bigger issue here these two servers will need unified state and session management to work properly, so a data store shared by both servers somehow.
Unified state shouldn’t be much of a problem for static web hosting.
