Setup multiple sage webservers to access the same data

edit

Hi,

It may be possible. All you need is a hard drive accessible from all computers.

The users data and worksheets are stored in some directory (which is $HOME/.sage/sage_notebook.sagenb by default). You can change this behavior within the function notebook (the name of the option is directory). Depending wether all servers are launched with a different user (with a different UID) you have to be careful with read/write permission within your directory.

Good luck !

The Sage notebook does not support more than one webserver accessing the same directory. If you did that, it would likely corrupt the database of users and more.

However, the notebook does support using multiple servers to do computations. See the server_pool option to the notebook() command. In this case, each server should have access to the sage notebook directory.

See the Sage Server wiki page for instructions for how to set this up on a single computer. You could use multiple computers if the sage notebook directory were somehow shared between the computers. The only reason for sharing the sage notebook directory is so that output files can be saved permanently.
