Scaling Appwrite
⚡ Introduction
In this repo, you'll find all the necessary files needed for deploying Appwrite:
- Using a single server.
- Using multiple servers with a decentralized database & storage.
- Using Docker Swarm with a decentralized database & storage.
Deployment types
| Technique | Description |
|---|---|
| Vertical | Scale your Appwrite up and down using single server |
| Horizontal | Scale your Appwrite left and right using multiple services servers |
| Swarm | Scale your Appwrite using multiple docker swarm servers. |
Addon
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Decentralized | Single decentralized storage and databases server to be used with Horizontal and Swarm |
🎩 Using ansible
Any deployments contain fully working Ansible scripts, so you can deploy your Appwrite infrastructure with a single command!
Config files:
Inside each Ansible sub folder, you'll find two files inside the config folder
vars.yml- List of variable you can customize prior to the deployment.servers.yml- List of all your servers and groupds.
All you need to do is to update the variables inside the vars.yml file, and set each server IP. Notice that in Horizontal and Swarm the separation of the
servers into groups is done for you.
Encrypt variables
To encrypt the database passwords, or any variables inside the vars.yml file, you can use ansible-vault like so:
ansible-vault encrypt_string PASSWORD --ask-vault-pass
Replace PASSWORD with the desired value and set a password for the local vault.
Run
Inside the ansible folder:
# In case you did encrypt some vars
ansible-playbook appwrite.yml --ask-vault-pass
# In case you didn't encrypt any vars
ansible-playbook appwrite.yml
Grab a coffee ☕ and watch your infrastructure come to life.
