Edit: it seems like my explanation turned out to be too confusing. In simple terms, my topology would look something like this:
I would have a reverse proxy hosted in front of multiple instances of git servers (let’s take 5 for now). When a client performs an action, like pulling a repo/pushing to a repo, it would go through the reverse proxy and to one of the 5 instances. The changes would then be synced from that instance to the rest, achieving a highly available architecture.
Basically, I want a highly available git server. Is this possible?
I have been reading GitHub’s blog on Spokes, their distributed system for Git. It’s a great idea except I can’t find where I can pull and self-host it from.
Any ideas on how I can run a distributed cluster of Git servers? I’d like to run it in 3+ VMs + a VPS in the cloud so if something dies I still have a git server running somewhere to pull from.
Thanks
GitHub didn’t publish the source code for their project, previously known as DGit (Distributed Git), now known as spokes. The only mention of it is in a blog post on their website but I don’t have the link handy right now
