  • Ask HN: Are there any open source forks of nomad smd consul?

    Doesn't look like it.

    * https://github.com/search?q=nomad%20fork&type=repositories

    There are products that do similar things of course.

  • IBM Planning to Acquire HashiCorp
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 23 Apr 2024
    I don't have any further insight, but looking at <https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/forks?include=active&page...> coughed up https://github.com/atlassian/nomad/branches although confusingly it says "updated last week" but browsing any one of the branches seems to be stupid old so I got nothing

    Finding conceptual forks, e.g. $(git push --mirror ...) would be trickier but I bet sourcegraph could do it

    Ultimately, the question boils down to: what risk are you driving down: hitching your wagon to a dead stack, not getting security updates, not getting PRs merged, $other?

  • Running Docker based web applications in Hashicorp Nomad with Traefik Load balancing
    3 projects | dev.to | 15 Mar 2024
    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.

  • K0s: Kubernetes distro as a single binary with zero host OS dependencies

    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.
  • Embracing Simplicity: The Advantages of Nomad over Kubernetes
    2 projects | dev.to | 16 Dec 2023
    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.
  • HashiCorp Vault Forked into OpenBao
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Dec 2023
    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

    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.
