High Availability / Clustering / Mirroring

I am new to Hestia CP and will set up a trial to test a HA failover infrastructure. Can you please advise how this could be achieved, and if Hestia could add native HA support in the future?

Use Case:
I am wanting to migrate two cPanel accounts. Using Vultr I will create two servers and one managed database server - the DB will be HA by default, and the two servers I would like to mirror one another. I will use Vultr or perhaps CloudFlare Load Balancer to manage the load between them.

What can Hestia offer in terms of the rsync or whatever / clustering options so that I can keep the two servers in sync?

please refer to DNS clusters and DNSSEC | Hestia Control Panel (hestiacp.com)

Thank you but I use Cloudflare for DNS and will not put that onto the server. I simply want Load Balancer to kick over to server 2. But what way to duplicate the Hestia CP server in two locations ?

Really, this missing feature is the only reason I don’t move many more sites to Hestia / spin up more instances. I can live with OS etc, but really need a failover / Load Balancer option.

What can I do for you, please? Are two servers backing up to each other? Hestia automatically backs up your website data!

We don’t support any clustering for hestia…

Why not

Because nobody has implemented it in the past …

It is given away for free …

If possible, you can test the cluster functionality and publish a usage report. Let other users work together to improve it

Unless you solve 3 major issues:

  1. How to keep configs in sync between Hestia installs
  2. Have a propper storage solution so you can access all the files from each server
  3. And do the same with database

It will not work with Hestia …

Most users have 1 server running for a few websites in this case Cluster / High availability should never be an option. And I really don’t want to implement this in Hestia…

Unless somebody is willing to invest a shit ton of time into it…

So unless you solve the issues above it will not be possible…
