Wp2

This page is intended to be used by those working directly on workpackage 2 of the ViBRANT project. As WP2 interacts with all of the other workpackages, this could be the vast majority of ViBRANT's active developers.

MySQL replication
There are a number of different methods of implementing MySQL replication, these include standard master-slave replication, and master-master replication.
 * Master-Slave
 * Multi-Master Replication Manager for MySQL http://mysql-mmm.org/
 * Simple setup using own scripts
 * Investigate the options of letting Aegir set this up
 * Master-Master
 * Galera http://www.codership.com/
 * Nightly backups using mysqldump: Not ideal, as this would potentially lose up to 24 hours worth of data. However, it is the simplest solution.  Note, our current solution is no better than this, and could lose up to 24 hours worth of data.

Use of NFS of similar file server
This would make the process of synchronising files between two applications servers much simpler (it actually wouldn't need to be done, as the NFS mounts would be identical on both/all applications servers). An NFS server wouldn't require much processing power or memory, but would require a lot of disk space.
