In the previous post, I’ve mentioned something called Traffikey that would help through my transition out of the Hashicorp products.
Since I’ve been using it for quite a while now and I’ve finally added some much needed features, I think it’s time to talk about it.
The use case
Put simply, etcd can be used by Traefik for it’s configuration of routers, services and middlewares the same way as Consul can be used. But since this would be all manual because there is nothing to “detect” those services, something would need to be automated to put the right keys at the right places in etcd.
The quest to find a replacement for Hashicorp products, part 1: Consul.
We can’t have nice things
Hashicorp recently changed their licensing for all their product. This new Business Source License isn’t open-source so that made me think of my usage of their product. With this change, I’ve decided it is time to move on from their product as it’s unsure where it’s going. Furthermore, some distributions like NixOS already marked the first version after the license change as non-free.
Got to start somewhere, no idea where this is going. This will be focused on technical things for sure. I’m not much of a writer to begin with.
