Hi,

I’m deploying a new DGraph instance with Docker 18. I’ve setup a two instance swarm, both nodes are online and fully operational. When I deploy the following compose file, the services create but hang at 0/1 replicas. I’m struggling to find out what the issue is. Note that I’m using dgraph/dgraph:latest.

```auto
version: "3"
networks:
  dgraph:
services:
  zero:
    image: dgraph/dgraph:latest
    volumes:
      - data-volume:/dgraph
    ports:
      - 5080:5080
      - 6080:6080
    networks:
      - dgraph
    deploy:
      placement:
        constraints:
          - node.hostname == AP-GRAPH-1
    command: dgraph zero --my=zero:5080 --replicas 2
  server_1:
    image: dgraph/dgraph:latest
    hostname: "server_1"
    volumes:
      - data-volume:/dgraph
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
      - 9080:9080
    networks:
      - dgraph
    deploy:
      placement:
        constraints:
          - node.hostname == AP-GRAPH-1
    command: dgraph server --my=server_1:7080 --lru_mb=17192 --zero=zero:5080
  server_2:
    image: dgraph/dgraph:latest
    hostname: "server_2"
    volumes:
      - data-volume:/dgraph
    ports:
      - 8081:8081
      - 9081:9081
    networks:
      - dgraph
    deploy:
      placement:
        constraints:
          - node.hostname == AP-GRAPH-2
    command: dgraph server --my=server_2:7081 --lru_mb=17192 --zero=zero:5080 -o 1
  ratel:
    image: dgraph/dgraph:latest
    hostname: "ratel"
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
    networks:
      - dgraph
    command: dgraph-ratel
    deploy:
      placement:
        constraints:
          - node.hostname == AP-GRAPH-1
volumes:
  data-volume:

```

What I see when I `docker service ls`

```auto
ID NAME MODE REPLICAS IMAGE PORTS
2va8p4ktaroj dgraph_ratel replicated 0/1 dgraph/dgraph:latest *:8000->8000/tcp
i34iuc96w94s dgraph_server_1 replicated 0/1 dgraph/dgraph:latest *:8080->8080/tcp, *:9080->9080/tcp
y0kqqeptosev dgraph_server_2 replicated 0/1 dgraph/dgraph:latest *:8081->8081/tcp, *:9081->9081/tcp
mw5mkat80cr2 dgraph_zero replicated 0/1 dgraph/dgraph:latest *:5080->5080/tcp, *:6080->6080/tcp

```

Hmmm, I resolved the problem listed above. My hostnames weren’t setting properly – so non issue.

I did have a follow up question. Given my configuration I should have two servers deployed of which I should be able to make GRPC requests to:

```auto
AP-GRAPH-1 on 9080
AP-GRAPH-2 on 9081

```

If I send all my traffic through AP-GRAPH-1 do I still get the performance of the cluster or do I need to distribute my traffic to both servers (balance the load between both?). Wondering if DGraph handles it internally or if I need to send traffic accordingly.

Hi,

if all servers are “full replicas” (with the same data) it’s okay you do some “Balancing”, but Dgraph Zero has some level of balancing control. In special when you’re using a sharded Dgraph DB environment.

More about Zero [https://docs.dgraph.io/deploy#more-about-dgraph-zero](https://docs.dgraph.io/deploy#more-about-dgraph-zero)
