Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
josephs8 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 We are looking to load balance our IPS forum and I am somewhat stuck on how to move forward. My issue is that I am not sure how to sync the files between the servers. We could use rsync but it seems that would be super complicated to use for bidirectional syncs. I also thought about NFS but that introduces a single point of failure from that network share. Does any have recommendations on how to sync files bidirectionally, or how you do sync files?
Management Charles Posted January 20, 2017 Management Posted January 20, 2017 If you use S3 for file storage and enable database for your datastore there's really not much that has to sync between servers. The only time it would write is if you do things with plugins, apps, and of course upgrades.
josephs8 Posted January 20, 2017 Author Posted January 20, 2017 @Charles Applications and plugins are mostly what I was worried about. But do they normally use the upload folder for plugins?
Management Charles Posted January 20, 2017 Management Posted January 20, 2017 Applications use /applications and plugins use /plugins.
