History

Arno B 341f83e7f5 Remove the systemd process and threads limit systemd limits the number of process and threads you can create within the cgroup it creates for a given service. This is especially limiting if you have a high number of keys Nomad watches from Consul. Fixes #4649		2019-02-08 16:22:52 +01:00

Dist

The dist folder contains sample configs for various platforms.

Conventions

On unixes we will place agent configs under /etc/nomad and store data under /var/lib/nomad/. You will need to create both of these directories. We assume that nomad is installed to /usr/bin/nomad.

Agent Configs

The following example configuration files are provided:

server.hcl
client.hcl

Place one of these under /etc/nomad depending on the node's role. You should use server.hcl to configure a node as a server (which is responsible for scheduling) or client.hcl to configure a node as a client (which is responsible for running workloads).

Read https://nomadproject.io/docs/agent/configuration/index.html to learn which options are available and how to configure them.

Upstart

On systems using upstart the basic upstart file under upstart/nomad.conf starts and stops the nomad agent. Place it under /etc/init/nomad.conf.

You can control Nomad with start|stop|restart nomad.

Systemd

On systems using systemd the basic systemd unit file under systemd/nomad.service starts and stops the nomad agent. Place it under /etc/systemd/system/nomad.service.

You can control Nomad with systemctl start|stop|restart nomad.
