[Owncloud] Several server instances for one cloud

[Frank Karlitschek]

There are different options. It depends on what you want to do.

If you want to do a real high availability and high performance setup we suggest to use several servers with a load balancer and a shared storage like an NFS server..

If you want to have a second standby server for backup we suggest that configure ownCloud to store backups on this second server  and only access the primary one.

If you want to use a second server because you want to have more storage than we suggest to use the new external filesystem feature of ownCloud 4 to mount a second ownCloud into your primary one.


If you want to have a master/master setup with two servers and you want to access both randomly than we suggest to use mysql master/master replication and csync for syncing the files. This might be tricky and untested.

You could also try to use GlusterFS as a storage backend for a master/master setup. But this is also untested.

You could also setup two independent ownCloud installations and use csync to sync two user accounts.

So when I'm at home I want to access via my local sever and when I'm somewhere else the access via my real server should be quite faster. Of course the instances have to stay in sync.
