Journey to a distributed PDS: A New Hope

In my last post I detailed the reasons for why I wanted to achieve a distributed PDS, or at least explore if it was possible. I also explained how I managed to achieve getting the database part of the PDS to be held on a server other than the PDS and then managed to run 2 PDS instances side by side, semi successfully.

Migrating my Knot

In my previous pub I went over the process I went through to set up my own Tangled Knot and the problems I faced. One of those problems stemmed from the fact that I was using my PDS server to host my Knot, but since I didn't use a subdomain for my PDS I had some issues with Caddy redirecting properly.
