High Availability (DR) strategy?

[ceesgeert]

What is the best way to recover (automatically when possible) if a Raspberry Domoticz system crashes? Is any strategy documented for these cases.

I need to implement such because all (light) switches and controls in my house will be dependent on a running Domoticz system. If this system fails I need to be able to switch over to a hot or cold standby environment which contains the same configuration. It must be able to also cover for the Z-Wave network.

Any documentation, suggestions, tips and examples are welcome. Thx.

I did that for the same reasons. Notice all my environment is mainly MQTT based.

I believe you need to virtualize your environment.

I have a 3 node Proxmox system with daily automatic backups of Domoticz.

If the physical host fails, all i have to do is move the usb devices to another host and spin up the Domoticz VM.

If I screw up my Domoticz VM, I can restore it from a backup in less than 3 minutes.
