• Tracetest in Action: Running Trace-Based Tests on the OpenTelemetry Demo App with Nomad

  In this section, we’ll be provisioning a local Hashi environment (including Nomad, Consul, and Vault) instance using HashiQube. Then, we’ll install Tracetest and the OTel Demo App on Nomad. Feel free to skip this section if you already have a working Hashi environment with Nomad, Consul, and Vault. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• How to Convert Kubernetes Manifests into Nomad Jobspecs

  Ever since I started exploring Nomad, one of the things that I’ve enjoyed doing is taking Docker Compose files and Kubernetes manifests, and translating them into HashiCorp Nomad jobspec. I did it for Temporal back in March 2022, and also for an early version of Tracetest, back in the summer of 2022. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Running the OpenTelemetry Demo App on HashiCorp Nomad

  Before you start, just a friendly reminder that HashiQube by default runs Nomad, Vault, and Consul on Docker. In addition, we’ll be deploying 21 job specs to Nomad. This means that we’ll need a decent amount of CPU and RAM, so Please make sure that you have enough resources allocated in your Docker desktop. For reference, I’m running an M1 Macbook Pro with 8 cores and 32 GB RAM. My Docker Desktop Resource... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Pi hole for less than 30$

  Eventually I'll probably get Consul.io and nomadproject.io loaded up across the estate again to make provisioning easier (Nomad can run a set of containers on every host by default, so each physical node automatically gets Traefik and Vector for example), but for now this will do me nicely!

• Centralised web GUI for task scheduling?

  Hashicorp Nomad: https://nomadproject.io/ (best paired with Consul). Source: about 2 years ago

• Failed to connect to the host via SSH on Ubuntu 22.04

  If you have just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, and you suddenly experience either errors when trying to ssh into hosts, or when running ansible or again when running the ansible provisioner building a packer image, this is probably going to be useful for you. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Create a minimalist OS using Docker Containers and Hashicorp Packer

  I am already using Hashicorp Packer at work and for personal projects and I wanted to test This idea out by wrapping it a single Packer Template file. This reduces the level of maintaining a lot of small scripts, Dockerfiles and configurations and the user can simply trigger a couple of Commands to get a minimalist OS at the end of the process. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel. The oligopoly has won.

  And while it is a slight increase in complexity, it can be an overall net gain in functionality, configurability and reliability. Much like Packer is far more reliable and practical than manually making VM images sitting in front of a terminal, even though making the initial configuration takes some time.

• Customized Ubuntu Images using Packer + QEMU + Cloud-Init & UEFI bootloading

  Hashicorp Packer provides a nice wrapper / abstraction over the QEMU in order to boot the image and use it to set it up on first-boot. Instead of writing really long commands in order to boot up the image using QEMU, Packer provided a nice Configuration Template in a more Readable fashion. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• The journey of sharing a wired USB printer over the network

  Packer seemed like the perfect tool for the job. I have never used it before and wanted to get familiar with the tool. It doesn't come with ARM support out of the box, but there are two community projects to fill that niche. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
