ssh deploy and firecracker

[gedw99]

there is a easy way to run firecracker with weaver ssh deploy.

docs: https://docs.nats.io/using-nats/nex
code: https://github.com/synadia-io/nex

This gives you a cloud in a box in many ways.

When you mix weaver with NATS you can orchestrate your "cloud".

I just adding this as an Issue even though its not an issue because the 2 things works so well together IMHO.

The SSH deployer is missing a few things are documented here: https://serviceweaver.dev/docs.html#ssh-experimental-limitations

The NATS Cli can be used to control Weaver, so I might make a "weaver nats deploy" etc ...

Am just thinking out loud here to see if anyone is into this. Would appreciate any feedback about this concept / approach.

1. nats is pluggable so you could also have nats weaver if you really wanted, ping me if you're curious
2. Your basic nats context usage is really just natscontext.Connect(os.GetEnv("NATS"), opts) that's all. Our integrations in cli is more complex because we also want to support passing/overriding some flags from command line, most people wont need that, simple one liner is enough.

hey @ripienaar

yep a NATS weaver is exactly what I am working on.

So then you can just connect over the NATS control plane.

I dont know how to reach you :) I am on Telegram though...

Hey @ripienaar

If you have time for a chat about this can you grab me on telegram or suggest what you want to use ?

Slack is where nats support happens.
