Multiple Management Support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

User can use file `/etc/cloudstack/management/config.json` to configure the settings which allow Cloudstack to support multiple servers.

To Cloudstack support use multiple servers, the following details can be edited in config.json:

============================= ================================================================
Property Description
============================= ================================================================
multipleServer Configure to allow Cloudstack to support multiple servers.
servers List of servers to which Cloudstack can connect.
============================= ================================================================

.. parsed-literal::

{
...
"servers" [
{
"name": "server-1",
"apiHost": "/server-1",
"apiBase": "/client/api",
},
{
"name": "server-2",
"apiHost": "",
"apiBase": "/client/api",
}
]
...
"multipleServer": true
}

For the UI to work with different servers, it is necessary to configure the Nginx config proxy to allow connections to the respective servers without Cross-Origin (to be put into /etc/nginx/conf.d/default/conf or similar).

.. parsed-literal::

server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location / {
# /src/ui/dist contains the built UI webpack
root /src/ui/dist;
index index.html;
}
# for apiHost of server-1 located in config.json
location /server-1/client/ {
rewrite ^/server-1/(.*)$ /$1 break;
# server's actual URI
proxy_pass https://server-1.your.domain;
}
# for apiHost of server-2 located in config.json
location /client/ {
# server's actual URI
proxy_pass https://server-2.your.domain;
}
}
