open-nomad/dev/docker-clients

This package provides a convenient way to create a local Nomad cluster for testing and development.

Server

In order to create the cluster, first start the Nomad agent as follows from this directory:

Non-persistent server

nomad agent -dev -config docker-privileged.hcl

The configuration allows the Docker driver to start containers with Privileged parameter.

Persistent Server

To start a server that can be shutdown and restarted run the following:

nomad agent -config persistent.hcl

Clients

Next, modify the count of client.nomad to run the desired number of Nomad clients and then run the job.

nomad run client.nomad

After a few seconds, you will be able to run:

nomad node-status

And see the clients have started up.
