# Nomad Codebase Documentation
|
|
|
|
This directory contains some documentation about the Nomad codebase,
|
|
aimed at readers who are interested in making code contributions.
|
|
|
|
If you're looking for information on _using_ Nomad, please instead refer
|
|
to the [Nomad website](https://nomadproject.io).
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
The code for Nomad's major components is organized as:
|
|
|
|
* `api/` provides a Go client for Nomad's HTTP API.
|
|
* `client/` contains Nomad's client agent code.
|
|
* `command/` contains Nomad's CLI code.
|
|
* `nomad/` contains Nomad's server agent code.
|
|
* `ui/` contains Nomad's UI code.
|
|
* `website/` contains Nomad's website and documentation.
|
|
|
|
The high level control flow for many Nomad actions (via the CLI or UI) are:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Read actions:
|
|
Client -> HTTP API -> RPC -> StateStore
|
|
|
|
# Actions that change state:
|
|
Client -> HTTP API -> RPC -> Raft -> FSM -> StateStore
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Checklists
|
|
|
|
When adding new features to Nomad there are often many places to make changes.
|
|
It is difficult to determine where changes must be made and easy to make
|
|
mistakes.
|
|
|
|
The following checklists are meant to be copied and pasted into PRs to give
|
|
developers and reviewers confidence that the proper changes have been made:
|
|
|
|
* [New `jobspec` entry](checklist-jobspec.md)
|
|
* [New CLI command](checklist-command.md)
|
|
* [New RPC endpoint](checklist-rpc-endpoint.md)
