I first met Riaan Nolan when he reached out to me via my Medium blog about my posts on #HashiQube, the open source project that he developed to help folks learn and experiment on the Hashi stack. Riaan is also the one who first nominated me as a #HashiCorpAmbassador back in 2022. And now I'm so stoked to have him as a guest on @geekingout_pod this week. Check out his episode!

Fellow #HashiCorpAmbassador Riaan Nolan talks about how he made the pivot from Director of DevOps to Terraformer extraordinaire, and how it led him to create his awesome tool, #HashiQube. Riaan is this week's guest on @geekingout_pod. His episode drops on TUESDAY! 👇

Happy Monday, y'all! I put together a quick little high-level video demo of Tracetest and the @opentelemetry Demo App running on Nomad (using HashiQube, of course). In the demo, I run tests against traces generated by a couple of gRPC services in the OTel Demo App. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

This was too cool not to share...I got #Tracetest and the #OTel Demo App running on Nomad (à la #HashiQube) together, and was able to create a test off of the Demo App's Recommendation Service. So cool!!

This week, I made a first pass at converting the #OTel Demo App's #Helm charts to #HashiCorp Nomad job specs. THE APP RUNS, but it’s still a work-in-progress. The front-end service is still suuuuper flaky and keeps re-starting (especially when I have the load generator going). It's a start, though!! If anyone would like to collab on this, let me know!!

Of course, I use my go-to tool for doing local dev on Nomad, #HashiQube.

Finally put together a blog post on running HashiQube on the M1 Mac. It features some of the tweaks to the upstream that I made in my own fork, including adding gRPC to #Traefik.

Big shout-out to Riaan Nolan for doing all the heavy-lifting to get HashiQube to run using the Vagrant Docker Provider. Works like a charm!

Fellow #HashiCorp nerds! I have an m1_main branch in my #HashiQube fork. It contains code from the servian/hashiqube upstream repo that supports running HashiQube on #M1 Macs, using the Docker provider (still works for Intel Macs too). I made a few tweaks so that I can run the #OpenTelemetry Collector using #traefik for load-balancing. Deets in the readme ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Shoutout to Riaan Nolan and Servian for an awesome job on the upstream repo.

Began tinkering with running #HashiQube on my #M1Mac on Friday at 23:30, OF COURSE I went down a rabbit hole that turned into a full-on weekend project (ahem, obsession).

Takeaways:
1. Although I haven’t touched #HashiCorpNomad in 5 months, I still remember how it works. 🤓
2. Never start a project on a Friday night
3. #HashiQube is dope and you should try it
4. I can finally start my weekend (too bad it’s already Sunday morning)
