This package provides Vault configuration files that can be used to quickly configure a Vault server when testing Nomad and Vault integrations.

To configure a Vault server run the following:

In one shell run the Vault server:

vault server -dev

In another run the following to configure the Vault server and create a token for the Nomad servers (must be in nomad/dev/vault):

export VAULT_ADDR='http://127.0.0.1:8200'
vault policy-write nomad-server nomad-server-policy.hcl
vault write /auth/token/roles/nomad-cluster @nomad-cluster-role.json
vault token-create -policy nomad-server -period 72h -orphan

You can then run Nomad using the generated token. An example would be:

nomad agent -dev -vault-enabled -vault-address=http://127.0.0.1:8200 \
    -vault-create-from-role=nomad-cluster -vault-token=<token>
