Ejabberd: Load balancing of ejabberd server

Created on 20 Mar 2017 · 3Comments · Source: processone/ejabberd

I am new to ejabberd server. I have install 2 instances of ejabberd on Ubunto -16.04
apt-get install ejabberd.

My Configuration with cluster is also successful by following https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/guide/clustering/

Now I want to have load balancing between these two nodes like round-robin for my clients

I read in one post that ejabberd does not support load balancing but I found one document which specify something about default load balancing
https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/guide/advanced/

but not clear what it is. Can you help me to specify how to perform load balancing in ejabberd

There are two common way to accomplish the task

Use SRV DNS balancing: it's pretty straightforward, just set up several SRV records pointing to your nodes.
Use balancing proxies, such as haproxy. Here is a good blogpost about it.
