Doesn't Flynn require a minimum of 3 servers? What if I'm only running one?

Doesn't Flynn require a minimum of 3 servers? What if I'm only running one?
- WrtCdEvrydy 9y agoRecommended is 3 servers, 2 CPU cores, 2 GB of RAM. However, single server configurations are perfectly acceptable for personal clusters. I would strongly recommend taking a cluster backup when you get it up and running though, since single cluster configurations do not deal well with unexpected power failures.
- zerkten 9y agoIs there a reason for this? When I see something like it makes me question what it'll be like for larger clusters.
- WrtCdEvrydy 9y agoBecause in larger clusters, the cluster can fix any issues if one hosts goes offline (load balancing) or a database gets corrupted. In a single cluster configuration, anything going wrong can destroy your cluster's capability. Think of it as RAID, the more drives, the more you can do for high availability.
- _lmars 9y agoRunning a minimum of 3 servers is just a recommendation, you can run Flynn on a single server (many people do), but then you obviously don't benefit from the HA properties.
