HashiBox

HashiBox is a local environment to simulate a highly-available cloud with Consul, Nomad, and Vault. OSS and Enterprise versions of each product are supported. Consul Connect is enabled and uses Vault as CA provider.

It also installs Docker for running Nomad's jobs inside containers.

It leverages Vagrant for virtualization, and Bolt for maintenance automation across nodes.

The main goal of HashiBox is to provide a local setup respecting environment parity for simulating a Cloud Platform from end-to-end before going in production.

Vagrant providers supported:

• parallels
• virtualbox
• vmware_desktop

Architectures supported:

• amd64
• arm64

Notes about the environment:

• ACLs are enabled and automatically bootstrapped in Consul and Nomad. To simplify the setup, the bootstrapped tokens are used in favor of scope-defined ones.
• To simplify the setup, TLS across Consul, Nomad, and Vault is not configured.
• Only Vault server is leveraged. Vault agents in client mode are not setup since we don't use it. Feel free to make a pull request to support it.
• We could have leveraged Vagrant's sync folders instead of Bolt for file sharing with machines. Bolt is a better choice for production-practices but also for automating scripts across nodes.
