The dist folder contains sample configs for various platforms.
On unixes we will place agent configs under /etc/nomad and store data under /var/lib/nomad/. You will need to create both of these directories. We assume that nomad is installed to /usr/bin/nomad.
The following example configuration files are provided:
server.hclclient.hcl
Place one of these under /etc/nomad depending on the node's role. You should use server.hcl to configure a node as a server (which is responsible for scheduling) or client.hcl to configure a node as a client (which is responsible for running workloads).
Read https://nomadproject.io/docs/agent/configuration/index.html to learn which options are available and how to configure them.
On systems using upstart the basic upstart file under upstart/nomad.conf starts and stops the nomad agent. Place it under /etc/init/nomad.conf.
You can control Nomad with start|stop|restart nomad.
On systems using systemd the basic systemd unit file under systemd/nomad.service starts and stops the nomad agent. Place it under /etc/systemd/system/nomad.service.
You can control Nomad with systemctl start|stop|restart nomad.
