Hello #homelab and #selfhosted community! I want some basic orchestration for my homelab and in another toot some users told me they`re using #nomad.
How are you using nomad? My idea was using a single VM for server + client agent, but there's minimum resources about this deployment, I don't need enterprise high availibity as I'm running a homelab, but maybe I can run a VM for host and another for agent? So I have better allocated resources?

@luigi you don't need much resources to run a #nomad #homelab client/server node. The system requirements stated on the nomad site are for massive deployments. I run client/server nodes on my homelab hosts which includes 2 servers and my desktop computer. I bet you could colocate them on an rpi without issues.

@alto Thanks for your input! I'm curious about your desktop being part of your setup. Do you use to kinda fast test things? Or it runs some services and when you turn off the services goes to another host?

@luigi the desktop host only runs a few non-critical services which are brought up on boot. It's not really recommended to run a server node on a host that reboots more often, but I haven't really had any issues, the other two nodes take over the server responsibilities when the desktop host shuts down

@alto that's cool to know, I'm still to read how nomad really works so I thought that we have like a k8s thing that the pods starts in another place if had the space.

@luigi you can do that if you want, I just don't have the jobs on my desktop host set up like that.
