Install Nomad
The task drivers that are available to Nomad vary by operating system,
for example Docker is only available on Linux machines. To simplify the
getting started experience, we will be working in a Vagrant environment.
Create a new directory, and download this Vagrantfile.
Vagrant Setup
Note: To use the Vagrant Setup first install Vagrant following these instructions: https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/installation/
Once you have created a new directory and downloaded the Vagrantfile
you must create the virtual machine:
$ vagrant up
This will take a few minutes as the base Ubuntu box must be downloaded and provisioned with both Docker and Nomad. Once this completes, you should see output similar to:
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'bento/ubuntu-16.04'...
...
==> default: Running provisioner: docker...
At this point the Vagrant box is running and ready to go.
Verifying the Installation
After starting the Vagrant box, verify the installation worked by connecting
to the box using SSH and checking that nomad is available. By executing
nomad, you should see help output similar to the following:
$ vagrant ssh
...
vagrant@nomad:~$ nomad
Usage: nomad [-version] [-help] [-autocomplete-(un)install] <command> [args]
Common commands:
run Run a new job or update an existing job
stop Stop a running job
status Display the status output for a resource
alloc Interact with allocations
job Interact with jobs
node Interact with nodes
agent Runs a Nomad agent
Other commands:
acl Interact with ACL policies and tokens
agent-info Display status information about the local agent
deployment Interact with deployments
eval Interact with evaluations
namespace Interact with namespaces
operator Provides cluster-level tools for Nomad operators
quota Interact with quotas
sentinel Interact with Sentinel policies
server Interact with servers
ui Open the Nomad Web UI
version Prints the Nomad version
If you get an error that Nomad could not be found, then your Vagrant box
may not have provisioned correctly. Check for any error messages that may have
been emitted during vagrant up. You can always destroy the box and
re-create it.
Next Steps
Vagrant is running and Nomad is installed. Let's start Nomad!
