Requirements for mulitisite environments utilizing a Strawberry Skies system and a self-hosted on-prem Strawberry system
- The systems must be able to communicate via HTTP or HTTPS.
- This can be achieved by using Strawberry Cloud Access on the on-prem system (standard firewall requirements for outgoing connections apply).
- Without cloud access, the Skies system’s static IP must be able to reach the HTTP port of the on-prem system. This can be achieved in multiple ways:
- Option 1: Configure a port forward in the firewall, allowing connections from the Skies IP to the Strawberry on-prem server.
- Option 2: Expose the server using a service like Cloudflare Tunnel or Tailscale Funnel.
- The on-prem system must have the technical ability to mount the LucidLink filespace. For details, see LucidLink Firewall Ports and Required Software.
- Users must log in using a central identity provider (IdP) that supports OpenID Connect (e.g., Active Directory (AD), Entra ID, Okta, Auth0, Google Identity, etc.).
- Local user accounts can be used alongside an IdP, but their management in a multisite environment is manual.
Requirements for fully self-hosted multisite environments
For two or more self-hosted Strawberry systems to act in a Multisite environment, they must meet the following criteria.
- Each site must be able to reach the API of the other sites, either via VPN, direct network routing, or a reverse proxy. The systems must be able to communicate via HTTP or HTTPS.
- At least one system must use LucidLink as its primary storage. Multisite configurations are not supported if all systems rely solely on POSIX storage.
- All multisite systems must have the technical ability to mount the LucidLink filespace. For details, see LucidLink Firewall Ports and Required Software.
- Users must log in using a central identity provider (IdP) that supports OpenID Connect (e.g., Active Directory (AD), Entra ID, Okta, Auth0, Google Identity, etc.).
- Local user accounts can be used alongside an IdP, but their management in a multisite environment is manual.
