Master-Slave Config: Restore Splynx Master on a Splynx Slave

Support
1

Hello Team,

I would like to achieve a Master-Slave Type of configuration of Splynx with two Splynx Installations.
Both would run at the same time on two different (V-)Machines.

The second (Slave) machine would take over immediately (second radius client entry on the Mikrotiks) if the first (Master) one fails.

I figured that the Slave machine could backup the Masters Config every few hours to be fairly current.
Using https://splynx.com/wiki/?wikipage=Console/Backup#Automating_the_Process , that works.

Knowing that there are encrypted passwords on the database - what would be the correct way to restore the backup on the Slave machine?

Can I simply dump the whole database on the master and import on the slave?

Thanks,
Heiko

Hi,

for HA we recommend to use Proxmox ( http://www.proxmox.com/en/)(https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/High_Availability_Cluster_4.x)

about your questions, yes all passwords is encrypted and keys is stored on config/encrypt.php

so, if this file will be same, all encrypted data will be usable.

Yes, also possible to configure master - slave replication on mysql.
