How to configure master-slave data replication in Alfresco ?

miroslav — Wed, 17 Aug 2022 07:57:36 GMT

Hello,

I would like to have two instances of alfresco community 7 with data replication between them. If the first instance goes down, the traffic would be redirected to the second instance. Users would have to log in again, but would have the data available.

What procedure would you recommend? It is better to solve this at the alfresco application level using logical replication (replication jobs), or set it up at the postgres (wall logs) and content storage level. If so, how to replicate the content store between two nodes?

Thank you!

Take a look at this documentation:

Community version is limited with features.

@abhinavmishra14 Thank you, your answers are really helpful! I have experience with alfresco replication using replication jobs, is this a better approach than using WALL streaming replication of postgres logs and rsync (or something similar) contentstore?
I'm ideally looking for tips and problems if someone runs communities in master-slave mode.
