Does replica works With SurrealDB?

Can I Use TiKV to Scale my SurrealDB

took a look at the docs, tikv does look required to horizontally scale surreal so the blocker here is mainly figuring out how to run that on railway

well that we im stuck at im trying to figure things out befor i pull propse railway to the team

https://tikv.org/docs/3.0/tasks/deploy/docker/ i found this

was just gonna ask for that

which i feel similar to Railway Docs section about databases

if tikv doesnt support ipv6 its an immediate no

well based on what i see they support it

ill double check

yes TiKV does support IPv6,

may not be as stable but i guess ill take it as win

if you redeploy any one of the 6 nodes it will break, since ips on the priv net arent static

Could you clarify whether the issue arises if it does not support IPv6, or if it supports IPv6?

if it doesnt support ipv6 then it simply can't work as separate services, if so, the 6 nodes will need to be ran inside the same container

Ok gotcha but based on what i have seen in docs it does support IPV6 so what now do i just build them normally like Redis cluster?

then this is applicable, not a deal breaker, just stating a caveat

do you have a test project that i could look at?

I need to get approval from my team lead first. I’ve proposed building two testing demos: one on Railway and the other using a standard Docker Swarm setup. In theory, I could build one of these this weekend and provide an update here.

but any thing i should look for while trying to build this testing infra

does the urls passed to initial-cluster support domain names? since the private network is domains only

not sure.

because the ipv6 ip is behind a domain name, you wouldnt have a good way to get the actual ip to use in that flag

im using ChatGPT to find me answer tbh there Docs are quite bad

but i guess ill find answers anyway when im testing'

sounds good, and wherever you see 0.0.0.0 replace it with [::] because private network is 100% ipv6 only

if its ok to keep this thread open untill i start on demo to share progess and get feedback if possible

of course

and I'm really, really thankful for your help. That's a lot of interesting information about IPv6 and Railway.

happy to help where i can!
