Failover with Apache Karaf + Cellar + Docker
Hi, I have two karaf instances with Active-Passive configurations. Following is deployment details 1- One become master and all bundles are with start status. 2- Second instance is also up but all my developed bundles are with install status but not running. 3- Both instance communicate on socket and as soon as first goes down second instance just change the status of bundles from install to status, due to which uptime in failover is very minimum. 4- these bundles dont expose http services so i cant use load balancer. I was evaluating Apache Cellar and found i can achieve same behavior with it by setting karaf.lock.level=50 property in etc/startup.properties. But i want to deploy both instances with docker images and locking is only done through filesystem or DB. How Cellar support locking in cloud environment? Please point some blog or documentations to achieve this behavior in . -- Sent from: http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/Karaf-User-f930749.html

Hi Cellar is not an active-passive solution, it's cluster deployment solution. It means that all instances are active, all instances can be part of the same cluster group, and then, you can install features/bundles/configs on this cluster group. For instance, you do: cluster:feature-install clusterGroup1 my-feature my-feature will be installed on all instances members of clusterGroup1.

Re: Failover with Apache Karaf + Cellar + Docker
Ok, thanks for updates. Please provide details how we can achieve failover behavior(A 'hot' standby instance) like mentioned in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/karaf/site/production/manual/latest-3.0.x/failover.html in Docker environment? How karaf support to communicate between two images/pods. As we can use kubernetes for orchestration of instances but i am not clear how to achieve "A 'hot' standby instance" with it. Kubernetes will start and stop bundles regardless of statuses of bundles of karaf pods -- Sent from: http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/Karaf-User-f930749.html
Re: Failover with Apache Karaf + Cellar + Docker
Hi, you can't do that with Cellar (again, Cellar is active/active). For "pure" failover, you have to use the lock mechanism. Your two docker processes should: 1. use a shared filesystem (like NFS) to store the lock 2. a database lock Kubernetes POD could be used with Cellar to discover the cluster nodes, but not for failover.

Re: Failover with Apache Karaf + Cellar + Docker
By the way, a possible new feature would be to implement a locking mechanism based on Cellar, leveraging jClouds, Hazelcast, Ignite, Zookeeper, whatever. I already started something with jClouds.

Re: Failover with Apache Karaf + Cellar + Docker
Ok i will look into it. As of now i dont have NFS, so will try to use HOST file system for locking. -- Sent from: http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/Karaf-User-f930749.html
Re: Failover with Apache Karaf + Cellar + Docker
Yeah, it should work with the docker host filesystem.
