Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have a 3-node Proxmox HA cluster and I searched for this topic here, and in the documentation, including the instructions for the multi-server installation and what didn't stand out to me was if there was any cluster orchestration that Kasm Workspaces either deploys, or sits on top of.

My three Proxmox HA nodes are OASLOA Mini PCs and as such, it only has an Intel N95 Processor (4-cores/4-threads), with 16 GB of RAM, so in the grand scheme of things, it's not particularly powerful.

In the docs, it also advised AGAINST running Kasm Workspaces via a LXC, so I am trying to see/ask if there is a way where there can be some load balancing that's performed automatically, and/or where it will allow individual workspaces to failover onto another node, in case one of my nodes has an issue.

Is something like this available/possible?

Describe the solution you'd like Support for live migration of workspaces and/or automatic failover in case one of those nodes in a HA cluster has an issue.

Describe alternatives you've considered I could deploy three completely isolated instances of Kasm Workspaces in three separate VMs, but the live migration and/or HA failover for the VM, won't have any awareness of the workspaces that are running in each of the respective VMs.

Additional context See above.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
