I am building HA FBSD cluster. I’ve found some how tos on how to build a redundant firewall or some webserver.
But I am not talking about webserver or firewall. I am talking about whole hosting system. HA cluster means for me that I will have a nearly bulletproof system.
Now it consist of 2 identical boxes. I mean hardware. One will mainly server http (Apache2) and the other one will mainly server the MySQL database.
It will be my dream - Open Source hosting. We will give a ABSOLUTELY FREE hosting to everyone who will ask for it. As I’ve said - loosers can do it for 2$/month - I am not a looser - I will do it for free. If you ask where I will get money from - I answer - support - as every GPL or BSD service - money comes from support not from the code.
With support of virtualmin I will have a SUPER HOSTING SERVER - and in a way of open source I ask YOU everyone for help.
I am limited of FBSD resources. I think I’ve found a way to have username longer of 32 chars (yes - if you’ve followed the manual of adduser, you’ve recompiled kernel and world and now you can login with username longer than 16 chars {which means you can have a email.at.domain@atsomedomain.com.org.whatever} - but now I finally made a way to have username longer than 32 chars - problem was in PAM and its message (stupid I know) constant - so rebuilding universe will help to you all who is in my way of doing it right and using FBSD.
Now I am asking - how many licences of virtualmin do I need?
I will use freevrrpd if I understand it right it will do the redundancy for IP address if one of boxes fails.
I will use heartbeat for monigoring and reconfiguring one system if the others crashes.
I have a scenario for this all.
If anyone is interested in this problem - please write me here and we can discuse the problem.
I know it is counting to 3 or 4 - nurse school - but it only seems like that. Help please - with anything. Any question. Any suggestion. Anything.
I don’t have a support of drbd so I will use gmirror instead.
Especialy Joe can you help me? ;o)))
