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
