Distributed Services with Go

Advertise Raft on the Fully Qualified Domain Name

Currently, we configure Raft’s address as the transport’s local address, and the server will advertise its address as ::8400. We want to use the fully qualified domain name instead so the node will properly advertise itself to its cluster and to its clients.

In internal/log/config.go, change your Config to this:

DeployLocally/internal/log/config.go

type Config struct {
        Raft struct {
                raft.Config
                BindAddr string
                StreamLayer *StreamLayer
                Bootstrap   bool
        }
        Segment struct {
                MaxStoreBytes uint64
                MaxIndexBytes uint64
                InitialOffset uint64
        }
}

Change your DistributedLog’s bootstrap code to use the configured bind address:
