Bosh release for Nomad

One of the fastest ways to get Nomad on any infrastructure is to deploy this BOSH release.

Disclaimer

This is not presently a production ready Nomad BOSH release. This is a work in progress. It is suitable for experimentation and may not become supported in the future.

Usage

Upload the BOSH release

To use this BOSH release, first upload it to your BOSH:

bosh target BOSH_HOST
git clone https://github.com/frodenas/nomad-boshrelease.git
cd nomad-boshrelease
bosh upload release releases/nomad/nomad-1.yml

Create a BOSH deployment manifest

Now create a deployment file (using the files at the examples directory as a starting point).

Note that the examples requires you to open some ports, so you will need to:

Create a security group (or the equivalent) named bosh with the following ports opened:

TCP 22, 4222, 6868, 25250, 25555, 25777 from 0.0.0.0 to enable BOSH to communicate with the agents
UDP 53 to enable using the BOSH DNS

Create a security group (or the equivalent) named nomad (or the name of your deployment) with the following ports opened:

TCP 4646 from 0.0.0.0 to enable access to the Nomad HTTP API

Deploy using the BOSH deployment manifest

Using the previous created deployment manifest, now we can deploy it:

bosh deployment path/to/deployment.yml
bosh -n deploy

Creating a final release

If you need to create a new final release, you will need to get read/write API credentials to the @cloudfoundry-community s3 account.

Please email Dr Nic Williams and he will create unique API credentials for you.

Create a config/private.yml file with the following contents:

---
blobstore:
  s3:
    access_key_id:     ACCESS
    secret_access_key: PRIVATE

You can now create final releases for everyone to enjoy!

# test this dev release
git commit -m "updated nomad"
bosh create release --final
git commit -m "creating vXYZ release"
