Setting up NFS for a GitLab HA setup allows all applications nodes in a cluster to share the same files and maintain data consistency. Application nodes in an HA setup act as clients while the NFS server plays host.
Setting up NFS for a GitLab HA setup allows all applications nodes in a cluster
to share the same files and maintain data consistency. Application nodes in an HA
setup act as clients while the NFS server plays host.
Below are instructions for setting up an application node(client) in an HA cluster to read from and write to a central NFS server(host).
> Note: The instructions provided in this documentation allow for setting a quick
proof of concept but will leave NFS as potential single point of failure and
therefore not recommended for use in porduction. Explore options such as [Pacemaker
and Corosync](http://clusterlabs.org/) for highly available NFS in production.
