[FEAT]: Master/Agent or Cluster setup - One instance, multiple servers

[ThaDaVos]

Feature Description

It would be cool if you could run one instance of Cosmos which manages/controls multiple servers as if it was one big server (from the interface perspective) - perhaps even supporting Wake-on-LAN, so you can have the heavy duty server be off, unless it's needed, for example a request coming in on the master which gets redirected to the server when it's on.

Situation/Case

In my case, I'll have three servers:

• Main Server - running the 24/7 services/apps - will run Cosmos
• Media server - located at the TV - so gets turned on when needed - or when one wants to use the MediaServer running on it
• Heavy Duty server - runs Business related stuff, is only x amount of time a day

Constellation allows the main server to control other servers but to a limited extent (create routes / sync users) but I still expect people to do more advanced stuff on their target server's UI. It's just more clear that way IMO

When it comes to decentralised load on servers that are started / stopped by Cosmos, aside from being very low benefits (even a big server do not consume huge amount of energy when idled (depending on hardware ofc) this is also quite niche, as the majority of people use a single server. But this is something you could automate yourself to an extent, ex. having CRON (supported in the Cosmos UI) jobs switch your servers ON / OFF

that's why I do not think that Cosmos would go that far into physically managing multiple servers that way in the foreseeable future

Closing the ticket for now but feel free to continue the conversation

[ThaDaVos]

I get that the request for waking up servers is niche - it was just an addition - but having Cluster support from a single UI would have been cool - haven't looked at Constellation, only thing I could find was Constellation VPN nothing in regard to managing multiple servers

Wish I knew GO better, cause then I would have been able to perhaps code it myself and submit a PR or something

[azukaar]

Constellation has 2 things :

• A "Tunnel" option that creates route on a different server to your main server (useful when your main server is private)
• User sync

I want to add a few more things for better integration but that's what 's currently in

[ThaDaVos]

Ah I get it - Would you be open for a PR regarding remote agent support/cluster support? Or is it not in the scope of Cosmos? Don't know how tightly coupled the UI is and stuff

[azukaar]

I'd rather not have a PR without precise planning to be honest, in term of functionality and UX. This is not a small endeavour
