Question: how to actually set up an eliasdb cluster? #19

Closed beoran closed 4 years ago

I can see in the source code that there is some support for running eliasdb as a cluster. However, how should this be set up? It seems the CLi has no support for this.

Hello,

It is true that EliasDB can be run as a cluster. You can set the option EnableCluster in eliasdb.config.json to enable the cluster code. The feature is very much still experimental as I didn't have much time to test it at scale nor am I really confident that the replication works as expected.

If you are curious about the inner workings have a look at the eliasdb_design.md under DistributedStorage.

In the moment there is no support for the cluster via the CLI. However, there is a cluster terminal under /web/db/cluster.html if you enable the option EnableClusterTerminal.

The cluster as such is configured using a separate config file which is defined under ClusterConfigFile in eliasdb.config.json. Have a look at the cluster web terminal - it should possible to join multiple instances of EliasDB there. I didn't write any other documentation yet - sorry :-)
