Hello is possible to create a multinode production cluster of weaviate without to use K8S ? With docker compose or other orchestration tool or deploying binary directly on the vm ? ---

hi @davide.mietto !! Hi! We do have here a docker compose example for 3 nodes: > **[Docker | Weaviate](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/installation/docker-compose#multi-node-configuration)** > > Weaviate supports deployment with Docker. Let me know if this helps. THanks! ---

Hi! You will need to add a load balancer in front of those nodes. Now the load balancer (eg. Traefik) will route the request only to healthy pods. If one of the pod goes down (crash/update/restart/etc), and it is the leader, a new elections will be called, according to our [raft consensus algorithm](https://raft.github.io/) implementation. Let me know if this helps! Ps: We are working on improving the deployment docs in different scenarios other than k8s, so stay tuned 😉 ---

The problem is that when the node (that was the master) return online it not reenter in the cluster and remain isolated. But if we stop all and restart all the node the cluster return healty ---
