Distributed Cloudron

[RoboMod]

Hey there, are there any plans to introduce some sort of distribution into Cloudron? I'm thinking of deploying apps to different machines controlled via one interface.

There was talk about releasing multi-machine support this last spring IIRC. I don’t know what happened with that effort.

We will probably do this as part of Cloudron 5. We will start work on it early next year.

There's a very cool distributed Postgres called Yugabyte DB.

This would be very cool for keeping things in sync and distributed.

Another crazy idea is to use the new durable objects and cron triggers from CloudFlare.

Yugabyte sounds interesting, but no dependency on Cloudflare please!

Just for those following this thread, a 'unified dashboard' (to manage multiple Cloudrons) is now planned post 6.0, as per:

it's just a crazy idea, no need to cry

It's really about dispersing data in a wide fashion not about the provider of that service.

Could be CryptoMove.

[ interesting how it doesn't show who downvoted your post, but obvious in this case ]

No downvoting from over here as it's not a bad post per se, I just happen to disagree.

Related, imo: Cloudron on a Raspberry pi?

Just found this in one of my ancient tabs:
https://github.com/longhorn/longhorn

Longhorn implements distributed block storage using containers and microservices. Longhorn creates a dedicated storage controller for each block device volume and synchronously replicates the volume across multiple replicas stored on multiple nodes.

Here are some notable features of Longhorn:

Enterprise-grade distributed storage with no single point of failure
Incremental snapshot of block storage
Backup to secondary storage (NFSv4 or S3-compatible object storage) built on efficient change block detection
Recurring snapshot and backup
Automated non-disruptive upgrade. You can upgrade the entire Longhorn software stack without disrupting running volumes!
Intuitive GUI dashboard

@robi longhorn looks interesting.

but i don't think this seamlessly would integrate with cloudron, since it's build upon Kubernetes.

@fbartels anything on K8s is a microservice, hence it works without it too.
