Loadbalancing issue #84

Open arosslau opened 9 years ago

arosslau commented 9 years ago

Hey,

I have the following setup: 1 Loadbalancer in front of 2 Webnodes.

When Web01 renders a twig-template containing {{ web_image(image_url).zoomCrop(485,180).jpeg(99) }} it now generates a cache file in the webfolder of Web01.

But what if the request to serve that image is handled by Web02? I don't have and don't want sticky sessions in my loadbalancer.

Actually, I want a hook (event) which I could use to spread that freshly generated cache-image to all Webnodes during that request-lifetime, when its beeing created.

Is there any way to do so, or didn't I find any 'cause its not there?

As workaround I have rsync running every minute to sync between all webnodes, but if theres a request between each sync, that cach-image could not be served. Moreover this causes that the browser chaches this state for that user.

Hello, There is no such thing yet in this bundle What about setting up a NFS filesystem for your servers?

At this point its not possible for me.

@arosslau I've been in the same situation. I used inotify to rsync a single file when changed/updated/create to several remotes (syncing them all was to slow). Anyhow, this won't solve your problem because when the file is generated by the template, inotify / rsync won't be quick enough to transfer the image to the other nodes before the request for the image arrives, and will still cause a 404-error. I guess you could warm the cache files and rsync them before being generated. But I'd still say NFS is the way to go.
