Appwrite HA deployment

This is what I ended up with, trying to combine the compose from appwrite, with your docs

This is being deployed to a two node docker swarm

I'm not sure about Portainer But let's see

So you have created a load-balancer between these two servers?

And when you're accessing each of those servers directly does it works?

Swarm handles that natively https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/key-concepts/

Yes, but you need to have something for it to hanlde it

Swarm mode has an internal DNS component that automatically assigns each service in the swarm a DNS entry. The swarm manager uses internal load balancing to distribute requests among services within the cluster based upon the DNS name of the service.

So what are you saying I should add?

It will happen automatically only if you have something that listened for the requests, then the smart DS routing would work

I have traefik added

its deployed globally

Tell me this

• How do you access the Swarm? through load balancer, or what?

Good

I have ngingx reverse proxy pointed at one of the servers 80/443

Okay, Let's first try this When you're accessing each of the Docker Swarm servers IP are you able to navigate in the whole Appwrite backend?

No, direct IP is not working, this is the error I am getting pretty much constantly

[Error] Timestamp: 2024-02-21T01:53:45+00:00
[Error] Method: GET
[Error] URL: /v1/account
[Error] Type: Appwrite\Extend\Exception
[Error] Message: User (role: guests) missing scope (account)
[Error] File: /usr/src/code/app/controllers/general.php
[Error] Line: 556

For which URL?

https://10.10.10.67/console/project-65d5579d86b25c8bf81f

https://10.10.10.67/console

really any path

Okay And this is for both IPs?

Yes, this is happening on both severs, with the same error populating in both containers

seemingly at the same time

Okay So before moving to load-balancing we need to solve this issue first

What is the output of

docker service logs appwrite_appwrite

In one of your Docker Swarm instances
