Hello everyone, I am new to Weaviate and I want to deploy a Weaviate cluster on two different machines. How should I configure the `docker run` command or Dockerfile? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 😀

hi @jasper2077 !!

I believe that as long as each node can and knows how to communicate with each other and all required ports are properly mapped, it should work 🤔

I have had some issues while deploying on docker swagger, that could help you on this.

I understand that k8s may be overkill for some scenarios ☹
