»nomad (platform)

Deploy to a nomad cluster as a service using docker.

»Examples

deploy {
        use "nomad" {
          region = "global"
          datacenter = "dc1"

            username = "username"
            password = "password"
          }
          static_environment = {
            "environment": "production",

»nomad-jobspec (platform)

Deploy to a Nomad cluster from a pre-existing Nomad job specification file.

This plugin lets you use any pre-existing Nomad job specification file to deploy to Nomad. This deployment is able to support all the features of Waypoint. You may use Waypoint's templating features to template the Nomad jobspec with information such as the artifact from a previous build step, entrypoint environment variables, etc.

»Artifact Access

You may use Waypoint's templating features to access information such as the artifact from the build or push stages. An example below shows this by using templatefile mixed with variables such as artifact.image to dynamically configure the Docker image within the Nomad job specification.

»Entrypoint Functionality

Waypoint entrypoint functionality such as logs, exec, app configuration, and more require two properties to be true:

  1. The running image must already have the Waypoint entrypoint installed and configured as the entrypoint. This should happen in the build stage.

  2. Proper environment variables must be set so the entrypoint knows how to communicate to the Waypoint server. This step happens in this deployment stage.

Step 2 does not happen automatically. You must manually set the entrypoint environment variables using the templating feature. One of the examples below shows the entrypoint environment variables being injected.

»URL Service

If you want your workload to be accessible by the Waypoint URL service, you must set the PORT environment variable within your job and be using the Waypoint entrypoint (documented in the previous section).

The PORT environment variable should be the port that your web service is listening on that the URL service will connect to. See one of the examples below for more details.

»Interface

»Examples

// The waypoint.hcl file
deploy {
  use "nomad-jobspec" {
    // Templated to perhaps bring in the artifact from a previous
    // build/registry, entrypoint env vars, etc.
    jobspec = templatefile("${path.app}/app.nomad.tpl")
  }
}

// The app.nomad.tpl file
job "web" {
  datacenters = ["dc1"]

  group "app" {
    task "app" {
      driver = "docker"

      config {
        image = "${artifact.image}:${artifact.tag}"
      }

      env {
        %{ for k,v in entrypoint.env ~}
        ${k} = "${v}"
        %{ endfor ~}

        // Ensure we set PORT for the URL service. This is only necessary
        // if we want the URL service to function.
        PORT = 3000
      }
    }
  }
}
