This has been my biggest pain point - world+dog shares their helm charts, but blog posts or git*.com repos with non-trivial cluster recipes are rare.

f.e. We're exploring cortexmetrics currently, and spinning the full stack version up on k8s (openshift) was straightforward. Porting all that spaghetti onto nomad would be a huge job, though part of the frustration is knowing someone, tucked away on a private network, has already done this.

Hard agree. I know this person and have been this person before.

I've toyed with the idea of writing a book of Nomad recipes and tips, I wonder if anyone would read it?

Also, watch this space, helm for Nomad may be coming soon: https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad-pack

A book - probably not so much.

The big value of sites (mostly github master repos) that offer recipes for saltstack/chef/ansible/puppet, or the helm collective, etc - are that they're continually being tweaked as new versions of (upstream) software are released.

They usually all require a fair bit of localisation before they 'just work', at least in my experience, but the template taken from a proven functioning system, and then abstracted & shared, is worth its weight in gold.

I've set up a few nomad jobs, but nothing anywhere as complex as, say, this cortexmetrics monstrosity. Even our k8s & nomad guru baulks at such an undertaking.
