I’m running Docker on Ubuntu server; around 50 containers running, most admin via Portainer. Configuration files and small databases for container applications are stored on the local SSD, media and larger files are stored on a NAS.

NAS data and the container folders are backed up.

I have a second identical machine doing nothing. What would you recommend researching to add resilience to this setup? Top priority is quick and easy restoration should the SSD fail - everything else is relatively easy to replace.

I’ll create an SSD RAID but I like the idea of a second host.

    Thanks. Could I achieve a simple 2-host solution with Kubernetes though?

      Nothing about k8s is simple. But yes you can achieve that.

      Take a look at Rancher for actually running a cluster.
