How To Set Up Master Slave Replication on PostgreSQL on an Ubuntu 12.04 VPS — step-by-step Linux tutorial on Progressive Robot

How To Set Up Master Slave Replication on PostgreSQL on an Ubuntu 12.04 VPS

PostgreSQL, or postgres, is a popular database management system often used to manage the information from websites and applications. In this guide, we will configure a master server postgres replication set up, which will allow us to replicate the changes from the master server onto the slave. This can be used to distribute reads to multiple machines.

How To Create a High Availability HAProxy Setup with Corosync, Pacemaker, and Reserved IPs on Ubuntu 14.04 — Linux tutorial on Progressive Robot

How To Create a High Availability HAProxy Setup with Corosync, Pacemaker, and Reserved IPs on Ubuntu 14.04

This tutorial will show you how to create a High Availability HAProxy load balancer setup on the cloud provider, with the support of a Floating IP and the Corosync/Pacemaker cluster stack. The HAProxy load balancers will each be configured to split traffic between two backend application servers. If the primary load balancer goes down, the Floating IP will be moved to the secondary load balancer automatically, allowing service to resume.

How To Use Apache as a Reverse Proxy with mod_proxy on CentOS 7 — step-by-step Linux tutorial on Progressive Robot

How To Use Apache as a Reverse Proxy with mod_proxy on CentOS 7

In this tutorial, you will set up Apache as a reverse proxy using the `mod_proxy` extension to redirect incoming connections to underlying application server(s) running on the same network. There are instructions on setting up a simple web app using the Flask framework to show how Apache interacts with the real application hidden behind it, but you can also follow this tutorial using your existing application server, if you have one.

How To Create a High-Availability Setup with Heartbeat and Reserved IPs on Ubuntu — step-by-step Linux tutorial on Progressive Robot

How To Create a High-Availability Setup with Heartbeat and Reserved IPs on Ubuntu

Heartbeat is an open source program that provides cluster infrastructure capabilities—cluster membership and messaging—to client servers, which is a critical component in a high availability (HA) server infrastructure. Heartbeat is typically used in conjunction with a cluster resource manager (CRM), such as Pacemaker, to achieve a complete HA setup. However, in this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to create a 2-node HA server setup by simply using Heartbeat and a the cloud provider Reserved IP.
