Hi,
First, let me admit that I posted a short question about this on the Floating IP tutorial. But that thread seems inactive right now. Allow me to ask again in detail here.
I’m building a marketplace website where user can post things for sale. I came from a shared hosting so I’m still learning my way around VPS.
After I read about Digital Ocean floating IP, I’m trying to setup high availability using…
- 2 x Django droplets
- 2 x Load Balancer droplets
- 1 x PostgreSQL droplet
I’ve read through Floating IP tutorial but one thing is still unclear.
— Question — Where to store media files like videos or user-uploaded images?
If one image is in Django droplet #1 but not in #2 then this setup is not possible.
All tutorials mentioned moving database to separate droplet. But no one says anything about media files at all. (Or the media files should stay on a database droplet?)
Thanks in advance!
