Nomad
Nomad support in Portainer is provided through the use of the Portainer Edge Agent.
To add a Nomad environment, click on Environments then click the Add environment button.
Select Nomad as your environment type and click Start Wizard. Enter the environment details using the table below as a guide.
| Field | Overview |
|---|---|
| Name | Enter a name for your environment. |
| Portainer server URL | Enter the URL and port of your Portainer Server instance as it will be seen from your Nomad environment. If using a FQDN, ensure that DNS is properly configured to provide this. |
As an optional step you can expand the More settings section and adjust the Poll frequency for the environment - this defines how often this Edge Agent will check the Portainer Server for new jobs. The default is every 5 seconds. You can also categorize the environment by adding it to a group or tagging it for better searchability.
When you're ready, click Create. Then complete the new fields that have appeared using the table below as a guide.
| Field/Option | Overview |
|---|---|
| Nomad Authentication Enabled | Toggle this on if your Nomad installation has ACL enabled (recommended). |
| Nomad Token | If the above toggle is on, this field is displayed. Enter the Secret ID from your Nomad installation. |
| TLS | Toggle this on if your Nomad installation uses TLS. |
| Environment variables | Enter a comma separated list of environment variables that will be sourced from the host where the agent is deployed and provided to the agent. |
| Allow self-signed certs | Toggle this on to allow self-signed certificates when the agent is connecting to Portainer via HTTPS. |
Copy the generated command based on your settings and run it on your Nomad environment to deploy the Edge Agent.
{% hint style="warning" %}
If you have set a custom AGENT_SECRET on your Portainer Server instance you must remember to explicitly provide this when deploying your Edge Agent.
{% endhint %}
If you have another Nomad environment to deploy you can click Add another environment to do so. If you have any other non-Nomad environments to configure click Next to proceed, otherwise click Close to return to the list of environments.
