TrueNAS-SCALE-22.02-RC.1-1
Nextcloud 22.2_1.3.7 (app) Or apps in general as using collabora. So, apps in general.
Both have same pools. Simple mirror.
Let me first say, yes, a novice for both TrueNAS and Nextcloud, but 25 years in IT but from a crap Microsoft base.
What I wanted and thought would be easy, would be a master to master Nextcloud, syncing in real time, the full Nextcloud DB, & data. But as we know nothing is ever easy and straight forward.
After lots and lots of reading, this seems to be doable but kind of complex, unless you understand Klingon!
So, questions I want to ask, to see if I can get some detailed answers. Not just what you used or would use but how you did or would do it.
Options. Nextcloud
As I know I would need to also sync or copy the NC DB and not just the data. Or even the whole docker image of NC (or apps) and data?
Now keep in mind the second NC machine would not need to be live but used as a 1: Backup and 2: as a manual change over failover..
I am anal when it comes to backups and fast recovery times.. All my clients have 3 backup config in place. Onsite, and two cloud. One cloud for data and my own cloud backup systems for both data and system image etc.
1: Master - Master but a solution a moron could follow. Would be the best one..
2: Master – Slave. But can the DB of the master be auto backed up in real time on the master and then updated / restored to the slave?? If the master NC went down, HW or a screw up in config etc. Until a master could be re-setup? And then reverse the process back to the new master?
3: A simple replication / resync from the master TN of the full NC to the second TN box and how would, either, be replicated / resynced back to a new master or if need be, restored to the second NC until a master could be re-setup? And then reverse the process back to the new master?
4: Backup options for the NC DB for 2 & 3.
5: Cloud backup of the NC data from the TN box as well. So, I have my 3 backup options and a fast’ish restore back up and running etc.
6: I know a TN config script would be needed to help with that little backup. (Best one would be?)
Once (if ever) I get this working on the LAN the second TN box would be at another location and would need to workout what needs to be changed to then point to it on the WAN.
