Clustering self-hosted

Question

Going the self-hosting route and have two Supermicro servers I'll be building soon.We need some type of redundancy in-case the other server fails and need minimal down time.Just looking for documentation on this topic and I thought I would ask the question here first.

Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'd don't think Data Center is an affordable option for us. With NIC comment above, I feel a 'active-passive' setup with some level of synchronization would be okay, as the amount of downtime would be decreased dramatically to restoring from a backup. Maybe I should re-title my question...

I'd definitely try it with Data Center first, instead of reinventing the wheel.

Won't work with active-active.  Either setup active-passive, or look at Data Centre.
