Terraform Scripting Concepts: Part 1 of 2
The first thing to understand about Terraform Scripts is that the Terraform Language is not for general-purpose development. Based on HCL (Hashicorp Configuration Language), it's specifically designed to describe infrastructure resources.

Harbormaster: The anti-Kubernetes for your personal server
Nomad also scales really well. In my experience swarm had a lot of issues with going above 10 machines in a cluster. Stuck containers, containers that are there but swarm can't see them and more. But still i loved using swarm with my 5 node arm cluster, it is a good place to start when you hit the limit of a single node.

1. IIRC you can run jobs directly from UI now, but IMO this is kinda useless. Running a job is simple as 'nomad run jobspec.nomad'. You can also run a great alternative UI ( https://github.com/jippi/hashi-ui ).
2. IMO HCL > YAML for job definitions. I've used both extensively and HCL always felt much more human friendly. The way K8s uses YAML looks to me like stretching it to it's limits and barely readable at times with templates.
One thing that makes nomad a go-to for me is that it is able to run workloads pretty much anywhere. Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Illumos and ofc Mac.

In my experience, there are actually two platforms that do this pretty well.
First, there's Docker Swarm ( https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/ ) - it comes preinstalled with Docker, can handle either single machine deployments or clusters, even multi-master deployments. Furthermore, it just adds a few values to Docker Compose YAML format ( https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3... ) , so it's incredibly easy to launch containers with it. And there are lovely web interfaces, such as Portainer ( https://www.portainer.io/ ) or Swarmpit ( https://swarmpit.io/ ) for simpler management.
Secondly, there's also Hashicorp Nomad ( https://www.nomadproject.io/ ) - it's a single executable package, which allows similar setups to Docker Swarm, integrates nicely with service meshes like Consul ( https://www.consul.io/ ), and also allows non-containerized deployments to be managed, such as Java applications and others ( https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/drivers ). The only serious downsides is having to use the HCL DSL ( https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl ) and their web UI being read only in the last versions that i checked.
There are also some other tools, like CapRover ( https://caprover.com/ ) available, but many of those use Docker Swarm under the hood and i personally haven't used them. Of course, if you still want Kubernetes but implemented in a slightly simpler way, then there's also the Rancher K3s project ( https://k3s.io/ ) which packages the core of Kubernetes into a smaller executable and uses SQLite by default for storage, if i recall correctly. I've used it briefly and the resource usage was indeed far more reasonable than that of full Kubernetes clusters (like RKE).

Kubernetes Is Our Generation's Multics
I have only looked at the HashiCorp tools, not really used them. My understanding is they originated in a VM-based world and I've worked almost exclusively with containers. (Though lately I use neither VMs or containers :) I hope to make it back into the mainstream computing world at some point)
I will say that I looked at HCL and it looks very nice:
https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl
But somehow it's not as popular as a mess of YAML and Go Templates? That genuinely leaves me scratching my head. I guess it's because people pick platforms and not languages? (historical note: I designed and implemented the template language that Go templates are based on, and I find their common application pretty bizarre, e.g. in some Helm charts I looked at from this thread)
Oil is growing a config dialect that looks a lot like HCL (although it's convergent evolution; I've never used it.) I think there is a lot of room for mixing declarative and imperative; as far as I can see HCL is mostly declarative (defining data structures).
Anyway I'd be interested in reading about HashiCorp stuff but for some reason in my neck of the woods I don't hear too much about it. Maybe that's because they're paid services and the open source Kubernetes seems attractive by comparison? Or is it more of a VM vs. container thing?

Looking for code in terraforms' Github
I am attempting to create a tool for terraform users, that may have some value to the community. As part of the process, I will need to parse `variable.tf` files in my golang program. Sadly, the hcl2 API is a bit too complex for me at the moment. Additionally, I want to maintain maximum compatibility to with the terraform tool.

Running Nomad for a Home Server
I myself would love to see more usage of HCL... after writing a lot of Terraform configurations, it feels so much nicer for me than any JSON or YAML/Helm configuration I have written to this day. We should agree on some kind of HCL-based industry standard and leave all these workarounds via JSON/YAML behind us... e.g. doing Helm logic with these Go templates just looks like a step backwards after writing Terraform HCL code for the last 2-3 years.
I understand JSON as a simple interchange format between systems, and is here to stay, but I don't understand all this YAML stuff, with all its quirks, from the K8s/DevOps people, when we have the much nicer HCL...
