RPM Spec for Nomad

Tries to follow the packaging guidelines from Fedora.

• Binary: /usr/bin/nomad
• Config: /etc/nomad.d/
• Shared state: /var/lib/nomad/
• Sysconfig: /etc/sysconfig/nomad

Versioning

The version number is hardcoded into the SPEC, however should you so choose, it can be set explicitly by passing an argument to rpmbuild directly:

$ rpmbuild --define "_version 0.8.10"

Build

• Build the Docker image. Note that you must amend the Dockerfile header if you want a specific OS build (default is centos7).

  docker build --rm -t nomad:build .

• Run the build.

  docker run --rm -v $PWD:/build nomad:build

• Retrieve the built RPM from $PWD/rpmbuild/RPMS.

Run

• Install the RPM.
• Put config files in /etc/nomad.d/.
• Change command line arguments to nomad in /etc/sysconfig/nomad.
  • Add -bootstrap only if this is the first server and instance.
• Start the service and tail the logs systemctl start nomad.service and journalctl -f.
• To enable at reboot systemctl enable nomad.service.
• Nomad may complain about the GOMAXPROCS setting. This is safe to ignore; however, the warning can be supressed by uncommenting the appropriate line in /etc/sysconfig/nomad.

Config

Config files are loaded in lexical order from the config-dir. A sample config is provided.
