I am setting up a hosted pbx business where I will have several small business clients connecting to my FusionPBX
Ideally, I would have 2 HA servers with failover if one goes down, but I haven't found any support or documentation for this unfortunately, all I hear is I have to pay for the class, which I would consider once I have a system that is producing income for me, but not right away this early in the "testing out an idea" phase.
The best solution I have come up with so far is I have a DigitalOcean droplet running FusionPBX with snapshots enabled. I also have a "Floating IP"
Quick DR solution:
cloudpbx.mysite.com points to the Floating IP which then forwards to the droplet IP.
If anything breaks on the server, I can quickly restore the last snapshot to a new droplet and forward the floating IP to the new droplet
This should literally be about 5 minutes of downtime (untested, but I will test this weekend).
It would not require any DNS propagation thanks to the floating IP so no problems there.
Anyone see a flaw in the plan, or care to help me with HA please let me know !
