homelab

This is the first post in the series about building a homelab bare-metal cluster using Hashicorp Consul and Nomad on a bunch of Raspberry Pi nodes. Why Baremetal? Modern backend developers use cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, or GCP and often need to remember their roots. We lose focus on underlying platforms and, as a result, make many mistakes that can deliver terrible consequences in production. We are all afraid of building things bare-metal because we refer to our ten years old experience and block the idea of cloud-agnostic systems before even considering the investigation in the field....

This is the second article of the “Building Hashicorp Nomad Cluster With Raspberry Pi ” series. This time, we will discuss connecting Samba shares as a persistent network drive for your future workloads. Before considering our cluster as “ready” we must do much more since we are building everything from scratch and bare-metal. As a next step, I propose to think about how we will persist data for our future workloads....
