Out of curiosity, has anyone here used Nomad for a home server? Right now my home "server" is six NVidia Jetsons running Docker Swarm, which works but I feel like Swarm isn't getting the same priority from Docker as some of the other orchestration things out there.
I tried using Kubernetes, but that was a lot of work for a home server, and so I went back to Swarm. Is Nomad appreciably easier to set up?
- vngzs 5y agoYes, you can be up and running with a multi-machine lab install in a couple hours, even if you're rolling the component installations and configuration yourself. In K8s production cloud workloads, this is usually offloaded to GKE/EKS/Kops, but the equivalent Kubernetes manual installation is appreciably more heavy-handed.
- DenseComet 5y agoI attempted to use Nomad for a couple months before going back to Kubernetes using k3s. The main issue I ran into was that there is no out of the box solution for ingress and it ended up being quite difficult to get something working reliably. With k8s, I was able to hook it up to cloudflare tunnel using ingress-nginx very easily and it was all integrated into the standard way of doing things.
