dockprom VS Nomad

This guide before was just just kinda streamlined version of of the great stefanprodan/dockprom.

Dockprom is a solid starting point. It gives the essentials and you can tweak it to your liking. For example I forgo Alertmanager (for now) but have added more exporters, data sources, etc.

For tracking stats - Grafana, paired with appropriate backends. Dockprom is a nice starting point as it comes with most things preconfigured. You just need to tweak them accordingly.

i used Dockprom (https://github.com/stefanprodan/dockprom) at one point, it looks and works well however I found the CPU usage at the time higher than it should be. Your CPU would handle it easily, but it was still causing 10% CPU usage which i didn't like. I don't think this is a widespread common issue it's a very popular project but just a heads up to keep an eye on CPU if you decide to test it out.

Take a look at https://github.com/stefanprodan/dockprom as a way to work with Docker, docker compose, grafana, prometheus and more.

https://github.com/stefanprodan/dockprom Read the YML and remove what you aren’t using.

If you run plex in a docker container I highly recommend this grafana dashboard setup: https://github.com/stefanprodan/dockprom

Something like dockerprom can do that for you :) https://github.com/stefanprodan/dockprom

In previous post, we discussed creating a basic Nomad cluster in the Vultr cloud. Here, we will use the cluster created to deploy a load-balanced sample web app using the service discovery capability of Nomad and its native integration with the Traefik load balancer. The source code is available here for the reference.

Nomad is really awesome!

I only heard of this today, but it looks really interesting. It seems to finally get Kubernetes a bit closer to something like https://www.nomadproject.io/ in terms of complexity to install and operate.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of container orchestration and management, two prominent players have emerged: Kubernetes and HashiCorp's Nomad. While Kubernetes has gained widespread adoption and popularity, Nomad provides a compelling alternative that stands out for its simplicity and efficiency. In this blog post, we'll explore the advantages of using Nomad over Kubernetes and why it might be the right choice for certain use cases.

I can't discern how many are just those "dependabot" bumps but the 1400 forks show some are active https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/forks?include=active&page... including CircleCI who I would think have a stake in a libre Nomad https://github.com/circleci/nomad/tree/circleci/release-1.5....

Now maybe their goals don't align with the community, and/or they don't want to be in the maintainer business for such a project, but better than nothing

Could this be a solution? nomad

It worth noting that Nomad UI(a official web admin panel) has log tailing utility built-in so maybe partial work has already been done. The developers may have other concerns.

The related issue is https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/10220

While I do understand the reasoning in their FAQ on the subject (https://www.hashicorp.com/license-faq). I however failed to noticed those intentions in their license text (https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/commit/b3e30b1dfa185d9437...).

Specifically the part in FAQ which says "internal production use is fine", but then license says that "non-production use only" and then "You may make production use of the Licensed Work, provided such use does not include offering the Licensed Work to third parties on a hosted or embedded basis which is competitive with HashiCorp's products.".

IANAL, but even to me this statement is full loopholes. WHO do we consider 3rd party? WHAT do we consider "hosted or embedded basis"? WHEN do we consider it "competitive with Hashicorps products"?

My repeated tests show that when an allocation that is using a volume is deallocated, nomad doesn't release the volume. So, it is inaccessable to the next allocation.
