I currently have a Traefik setup with one nodejs service running locally in a docker container with a docker-compose.yml file like so:
container_name: nestjs-server
build:
context: ./
dockerfile: Dockerfile
networks:
- traefik-global-proxy
labels:
- "traefik.enable=true"
- "traefik.http.routers.nestjs-server.rule=Host(`mydomain.com`) || Host(`www.mydomain.com`)"
- "traefik.http.routers.nestjs-server.entrypoints=websecure"
- "traefik.http.routers.nestjs-server.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"
- "traefik.http.middlewares.redirect-to-https.redirectscheme.scheme=https"
I am running on a 1vCPU / 2GB cloud instance. Now I would like to add a second node app instance on another VM. I have seen it is possible to add server instances to the load balancer like so:
services:
my-service:
loadBalancer:
servers:
- url: "http://<private-ip-server-1>:<private-port-server-1>/"
- url: "http://<private-ip-server-2>:<private-port-server-2>/"
But I am not sure how to load balance between instances on another service alongside local docker instances. I have read that it is not possible to mix the label based config with the file config, so I assume I'd need to do something like:
my-service:
loadBalancer:
servers:
- url: "http://<private-ip-server-1>:<private-port-server-1>/"
- port: "<local-port-server-2>"
Is this possible? What is the correct way to accomplish this, other than having everything run on the same machine within docker?
