podman-compose VS Nomad

Podman (via podman-compose),

Source code for the feature is here if you care to inspect it:

https://github.com/containers/podman-compose/blob/bce40c2db3...

Admittedly, I'm still on podman 4.3.1, but I dont' see any reason why this would stop working in later versions of podman.

Can someone link me to what Compose means in this context? Google takes me to https://github.com/containers/podman-compose but I just wanna make sure that's what they are talking about.

🛑 Docker Desktop is free for personal use but requires a paid subscription for enterprises. A free open source alternative is Podman and Podman Compose which uses the same core syntax as the Docker tools and can be used as a near drop-in replacement.

I’m dumb. When I wrote the article it was late. Docker-Compose really was a game changer.

Yea Podman compose exists. I’ll add a section about docker compose to it in an update.

From googling this error I've come across a few different threads but I haven't gained any success. Firstly I found this github thread which doesn't reference my error but still seems related. I followed the "sudo podman-compose systemd --action create-unit" and "podman-compose systemd -a register -f myfile.yml" minus the -f flag as it wouldnt run with that. This indeed created a [email protected] file, but its created in the /etc/systemd/user directory rather than /etc/systemd/system which raises an issue as I'm having to run these two containers as root. I try registering the podman-compose@torrent but I'm told the service doesnt exist. Running it as user I'm told it failed to connect to bus: no medium found. So I basically reached a dead end there.

Have a look at Podman Compose

You can also use podman-compose for the orchestration https://github.com/containers/podman-compose

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.
