Server Availability

hopepost1976 · 19 Oct 2021, 09:35

Hi,

What happens if the server running a self hosted fusionAuth is not accessible? Is there a way how the users can still login to the software? E.g. can I have a subset of the database on a local machine that is always accessible?

Thank you very much in advance and best regards,
Alex

This is not present at the current time, but you can deploy FusionAuth in as little as 512MB of RAM. So depending on your use case, you could run FusionAuth locally.

If you needed to sync data between the local machine and a central server, the APIs might help.

But in general this is not a use case we've considered.

Feel free to open a feature request with more details about your use case: https://github.com/fusionauth/fusionauth-issues/issues

Hi Dan,

Thank you very much for your help!
If synchronizing between a local machine and a central server, is it possible to just get a part of the information (e.g. concerning a specific user), or will I have the complete data from the central server?

Again thank you and best regards,
Alex

Hiya,

You should review the APIs to determine if FusionAuth can meet your needs.

You can sync almost everything.

One notable exception is the password hash and other info around it (salt, etc) which are not available via API call.
