I’d like to get to a docker swarm sort of situation where I have 3 identical docker VMs, running 3 identical Caddy configurations, with 3 identical Apache VMs, and requests load balanced across them. And then I want a shared filesystem so the users can upload the files for their web sites to one location, and it’s made available to all the web front ends.

I’m currently in a mixed environment:

  • #xcpng on bare metal

  • FreeBSD VMs running important services (bastions, email, DNS)

  • #AlpineLinux VMs running docker for all my container-based stuff

So I’m trying to do the shared, highly available FS part of this design and I’d stay with FreeBSD if I could. #selfhosted

  • Possibly linuxEnglish

    FreeBSD isn’t going to have the same support as Linux.

    Under Linux you could use Ceph or even garage object storage. There are plenty of other options. Maybe you could try to get Linux stuff working on BSD.

    Alternatively you could setup a highly available NFS share.
