      It would be nice to have the same app synced across two or more Cloudrons. The use-case that prompted this idea is that I want to run Vaultwarden on my homeserver but I would still have access to my credentials in case my server goes down and it wouldn't require any additional work on my end like restoring a backup, etc.. Perhaps this could be done through sharing the same S3 backups.

      It would be something like this:

      • Homeserver saves backups to the S3 bucket
      • Hosted VPS restores an app periodically based on a set schedule from the S3 bucket
      • The Hosted VPS app has a clear indicator "clone" (thinking of a tag on the app icon in CR dashboard) that it's a cloned app.

      This somewhat overlaps with having multiple servers for redundancy through DNS Failover but that's complicated stuff that I can't figure out how to implement it.

      What do you guys think?

        @humptydumpty Vaultwarden does local caching by the way, so even if the Server went down you would still have full access to your latest online version.

        I understand where the idea is coming from and it would be nice feature.

          There is a much simpler way to keep things in sync in a p2p fashion with GunDB.

          The trickier part is integrating with the different apps in a way where it can use that data.
