Overview
-------------------------------
Nomad is a simple and flexible workload orchestrator to deploy and manage containers ([docker](https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/drivers/docker.html), [podman](https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/drivers/podman)), non-containerized applications ([executable](https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/drivers/exec.html), [Java](https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/drivers/java)), and virtual machines ([qemu](https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/drivers/qemu.html)) across on-prem and clouds at scale.
Nomad is an easy-to-use, flexible, and performant workload orchestrator that deploys:
Nomad is supported on Linux, Windows, and macOS. A commercial version of Nomad, [Nomad Enterprise](https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/enterprise), is also available.

Nomad enables developers to use declarative infrastructure-as-code for deploying their applications (jobs). Nomad uses bin packing to efficiently schedule jobs and optimize for resource utilization. Nomad is supported on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Nomad is widely adopted and used in production by PagerDuty, CloudFlare, Roblox, Pandora, and more.
Nomad provides several key features:
* **Deploy Containers and Legacy Applications**: Nomads flexibility as an orchestrator enables an organization to run containers, legacy, and batch applications together on the same infrastructure. Nomad brings core orchestration benefits to legacy applications without needing to containerize via pluggable task drivers.

Getting Started
-------------------------------
Quick Start
---
Get started with Nomad quickly in a sandbox environment on the public cloud or on your computer.
#### Testing
See [Learn: Getting Started](https://learn.hashicorp.com/collections/nomad/get-started) for instructions on setting up a local Nomad cluster for non-production use.
* Local
* [Via Vagrant](https://www.nomadproject.io/intro/getting-started/install.html)
* AWS
* [Via Terraform](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/tree/master/terraform/aws)
* Azure
* [Via Terraform](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/tree/master/terraform/azure)
* GCP
* [Via Terraform](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/tree/master/terraform/gcp)
Optionally, find Terraform manifests for bringing up a development Nomad cluster on a public cloud in the [`terraform`](terraform/) directory.
These methods are not meant for production.
#### Production
See [Learn: Nomad Reference Architecture](https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/nomad/production-reference-architecture-vm-with-consul?in=nomad/production) for recommended practices and a reference architecture for production deployments.

Contributing
--------------------
See the [`contributing`](contributing/) directory for more developer documentation.
### Developing with Vagrant
A development environment is supplied via Vagrant to make getting started easier.
1. Install [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/installation)
1. Install [Virtualbox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)
1. Bring up the Vagrant project
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad.git
$ cd nomad
$ vagrant up
```
The virtual machine will launch, and a provisioning script will install the
needed dependencies within the VM.
### Developing without Vagrant
1. Install [Go 1.15.5+](https://golang.org/) *(Note: `gcc-go` is not supported)*
1. Clone this repo
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad.git
$ cd nomad
```
1. Bootstrap your environment
```sh
$ make bootstrap
```
1. (Optionally) Set a higher ulimit, as Nomad creates many file handles during normal operations
```sh
$ [ "$(ulimit -n)" -lt 1024 ] && ulimit -n 1024
```
1. Verify you can run tests
```sh
$ make test
```
### Running a development build
1. Compile a development binary (see the [UI README](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/master/ui/README.md) to include the web UI in the binary)
```sh
$ make dev
# find the built binary at ./bin/nomad
```
1. Start the agent in dev mode
```sh
$ sudo bin/nomad agent -dev
```
1. (Optionally) Run Consul to enable service discovery and health checks
1. Download [Consul](https://www.consul.io/downloads)
1. Start Consul in dev mode
```sh
$ consul agent -dev
```
### Compiling Protobufs
If in the course of your development you change a Protobuf file (those ending in .proto), you'll need to recompile the protos.
1. Install [Buf](https://docs.buf.build/installation)
1. Compile Protobufs
```sh
$ make proto
```
### Building the Web UI
See the [UI README](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/master/ui/README.md) for instructions.
### Create a release binary
To create a release binary:
```sh
$ make prerelease
$ make release
$ ls ./pkg
```
This will generate all the static assets, compile Nomad for multiple
platforms and place the resulting binaries into the `./pkg` directory.
API Compatibility
--------------------
Only the `api/` and `plugins/` packages are intended to be imported by other projects. The root Nomad module does not follow semver and is not intended to be imported directly by other projects.
