• Set KUBERNETES_MASTER to your Kubernetes cluster url example http://127.0.0.1:8080

• Consul
  • CONSUL_HOST to an address without your cluster - default localhost
  • CONSUL_PORT to the port your cluster is listening on - default 8500

• Lockers are disabled by default
• Example job formats are in the example-jobs folder
• Job names must be unique
• example-jobs
  • DEFAULTS.yaml
  • test.yaml
• This project utilizes docker ONBUILD so any yaml files added under a jobs directory will be added and processed

1. Create a Dockerfile

FROM sstarcher/job-runner:latest

2. Create a folder called jobs
3. Create a job

Example:
  image: debian:jessie #This value is overriding what is set in the DEFAULTS.yaml
  Jobs:
    - Test:
        time: '* * * * *'
        command: echo $job

4. docker build --pull -t jobs .
5. docker run jobs
