@title Cluster: Daemons
@group cluster
Configuring Phorge to use multiple daemon hosts.
Overview
========
You can run daemons on multiple hosts. The advantages of doing this are:
- you can completely survive the loss of multiple daemon hosts; and
- worker queue throughput may improve.
This configuration is simple, but you must configure repositories first. For
details, see @{article:Cluster: Repositories}.
Since repository hosts must run daemons anyway, you usually do not need to do
any additional work and can skip this entirely if you have already configured
multiple repository hosts.
Adding Daemon Hosts
===================
After configuring repositories for clustering, launch daemons on every
repository host according to the documentation in
@{article:Cluster: Repositories}. These daemons are necessary: repositories
will not fetch, update, or synchronize properly without them.
If your repository clustering is redundant (you have at least two repository
hosts), these daemons are also likely to be sufficient in most cases. If you
want to launch additional hosts anyway (for example, to increase queue capacity
for unusual workloads), see "Dedicated Daemon Hosts" below.
Dedicated Daemon Hosts
======================
You can launch additional daemon hosts without any special configuration.
Daemon hosts must be able to reach other hosts on the network, but do not need
to run any services (like HTTP or SSH). Simply deploy the Phorge software
and configuration and start the daemons.
Normally, there is little reason to deploy dedicated daemon hosts. They can
improve queue capacity, but generally do not improve availability or increase
resistance to data loss on their own. Instead, consider deploying more
repository hosts: repository hosts run daemons, so this will increase queue
capacity but also improve repository availability and cluster resistance.
Next Steps

- configuring repositories first with @{article:Cluster: Repositories}.
