HashiQube is a VM or Docker Container with a Docker daemon inside. It runs all HashiCorp products. Vault, Terraform, Nomad, Consul, Waypoint, Boundary, Vagrant, Packer and Sentinel. It also runs a host of other popular Open Source DevOps / DevSecOps applications showcasing how simple integration with HashiCorp products can result in tangible learnings and benefits for all its users Once the Qube is up an internet connection is no longer needed meaning sales pitches and demos for potential and existing customers is greatly aided.

HashiQube has been created to enable anyone who is interested in secure automation pipelines the ability to run a suite of ‘best in class’ tools their local machines at the cost of a small amount of system resources. The Qube gives all interested parties the empowerment to deploy these tools in a way covers multiple use cases effectively providing a ‘concept to completion’ test bed using open source HashiCorp products. The original use case was born the desire to demystify DevSecOps utilising Terraform, Vault, Consul, Sentinel and Nomad as well as some other well know open source CI/CD tools by providing a ‘hands-on’ environment that demonstrates the value of secret and credential management in standard software development pipeline.
Thanks to the flexibility of the HashiCorp products there is no need to wonder how to achieve the goals of bringing software to market in a more secure and timely fashion, just Vagrant up!

💡 Docker is the Default and preferred way to run Hashiqube
- Docker - Download Docker from https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop and install
- Vagrant - Download Vagrant from https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html and install
- Virtualbox (Optional) - Download Virtualbox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and install
- Using
git- clone this repogit clone $repo .What is Git? - Inside the local repo folder, do
vagrant up --provision- This will setup, Vault, Nomad, Consul, Terraform, Localstack and Docker - Documentation locally available at http://localhost:3333
HashiQube is made up out of a number of components and some rely on each other.
For example you can run components seperately as demonstrated below.
vagrant up --provision-with basetools
vagrant up --provision-with docker
vagrant up --provision-with docsify
vagrant up --provision-with vault
vagrant up --provision-with nomad
vagrant up --provision-with minikubeOr one-shot as demonstrated below.
vagrant up --provision-with basetools,docker,minikube,postgresql,dbt,apache-airflowDocker Desktop is an easy-to-install application for your Mac or Windows environment that enables you to build and share containerized applications and microservices. It's a graphical user interface for the docker service.
- Download Docker Desktop from https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop and install it on your laptop, to verify bring up the Docker Desktop application.
If you have HashiQube running, you won't see any containers but you will be able to open the application.
Now that docker is installed we need to ensure that the docker environment and settings are configured
- Ensure you have the latest version installed
- Ensure that your Operating System is updated see: https://www.docker.com/blog/speed-boost-achievement-unlocked-on-docker-desktop-4-6-for-mac/
- Ensure that you give your docker daemon at least 8G of RAM and sufficient disk space
Local DNS via Consul
Add on our local Macbook a file /etc/resolver/consul with below contents
nameserver 10.9.99.10
port 8600
Now you can use DNS like nomad.service.consul:9999 vault.service.consul:9999 via Fabio Load Balancer
- 10GB of disk space
- Admin rights / sudo (you will be asked to update ETC Host file)
- Docker (Default) and/or Virtualbox
- Vagrant
vagrant up --provision
