cheap-cloud

This repo is an example of low-cost cloud infrastructure, with the entire cost of maintenance settling around $10 per month. The project uses the "infrastructure as a code" methodology for doing deployments and allows you to deploy Node based applications with dynamic staging environments.

Default preinstalled software:

• Nomad
• Consul
• Vault
• Ansible
• Vagrant
• Pulumi
• Docker
• Redis
• ElasticSearch 7.x
• Postgresql
• Traefik
• Node
• Docker registry

Example application that is connected to this cloud:

https://github.com/Mati365/upolujksiazke.pl

check jobs/ folder with Nomad tasks / services.

Architecture

graph TD
    subgraph "Server (192.168.56.10)"
        A[Nomad server] -.-> B
        B[Consul server]
    end

    B --> C
    B --> E

    subgraph "Client 1 (192.168.56.11)"
        C[Nomad client] -.-> D
        D[Consul agent]
    end

    subgraph "Client X (192.168.56.X)"
        E[Nomad client] -.-> F
        F[Consul agent]
    end

Loading

Local testing

Generate ansible RSA key in ansible/keys/ansible/ and then:

./start-dev.sh --create-vm

Useful commands

Nomad

List server members:

sudo nomad server members \
  -address=https://localhost:4646 \
  -ca-path=/var/www/nomad/tls/nomad-ca.pem \
  -client-cert=/var/www/nomad/tls/server.pem \
  -client-key=/var/www/nomad/tls/server-key.pem \
  -token=$(jq -r '.SecretID' /var/www/nomad/server/bootstrap.json)

List node members:

sudo nomad node status \
  -address=https://localhost:4646 \
  -ca-path=/var/www/nomad/tls/nomad-ca.pem \
  -client-cert=/var/www/nomad/tls/server.pem \
  -client-key=/var/www/nomad/tls/server-key.pem \
  -token=$(jq -r '.SecretID' /var/www/nomad/server/bootstrap.json)

Purge job:

sudo nomad job stop -purge \
  -address=https://localhost:4646 \
  -ca-path=/var/www/nomad/tls/nomad-ca.pem \
  -client-cert=/var/www/nomad/tls/server.pem \
  -client-key=/var/www/nomad/tls/server-key.pem \
  -token=$(jq -r '.SecretID' /var/www/nomad/server/bootstrap.json) \
  <job name>

Fail deployment:

sudo nomad deployment fail \
  -address=https://localhost:4646 \
  -ca-path=/var/www/nomad/tls/nomad-ca.pem \
  -client-cert=/var/www/nomad/tls/server.pem \
  -client-key=/var/www/nomad/tls/server-key.pem \
  -token=$(jq -r '.SecretID' /var/www/nomad/server/bootstrap.json) \
  <deployment id>

Take vault snapshot:

VAULT_TOKEN=<token> vault operator raft snapshot save -tls-skip-verify ./snapshot.snap
