Guidelines:DualHost

Dual Host Setup

In certain situations, you may want to deploy Eden with a database on a separate host. Follow these steps for Debian/Linux:

Terminology

This guideline assumes that you have two hosts running on Debian/Linux - we will use the AppHost and DBHost designations here to distinguish between the two.

Further, we assume that each host has a public IP (exposed to the internet) and a private IP (local network only). Thus, a designation like apphost-public-ip, for instance, refers to the public IP of the AppHost. In some intranet setups, public IP and private IP may be the same.

Make sure that you have a DNS A-record set up for the public IP of the AppHost, e.g. in the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) "eden.example.com", the "eden" part constitutes the hostname, and "example.com" the domain.
