We want to start owncloud on 3 machines and use a load balancer to distribute the traffic between them.
We got an external database and we got the storage connected via gluster. Sessions are also shared between them using redis.
However, I asked myself 2 questions:
- What about the cron jobs of owncloud? Won't each server execute the cron jobs in parallel? May this lead to problems?
- What about the APCi cache? We have activated it in the config.pjp ('memcache.local' => '\OC\Memcache\APCu'). Should we deactivate it in order to avoid that changes on server 1 cause problems from a cached result whent he next request arrives at server 2?
I checked https://doc.owncloud.org/server/8.0/admin_manual/operations/scaling_multiple_machines.html and https://severalnines.com/blog/high-availability-file-sync-and-share-deploying-owncloud-galera-cluster-mysql-and-glusterfs but both don't discuss the 2 things above.
Best regards,
Sven
