kbrebanov / ansible-nomad Goto Github PK

I'm currently evaluating nomad and this role looked the best to get the job done fast - thank you for creating it 👍

I've run into an issue though - our machines never access 'root' user and we have a special user which can do certain things which are permitted via sudo.
Given that:

• for some reason I can't override nomad_download_dir to /tmp
• when doing it by hand I'm running into permission errors because become: true is set in the download and unzip tasks

Is there any reason for using root user here? Feels like always downloading to tmp or ~ of the current user would do the trick.

Happy to send a PR which addresses this issue, but it's always better to check first ;-) - I might be missign something.

Thanks

I used this playbook:

- hosts: nomad_servers
  vars:
    use_nomad: true
    nomad_server: true
    nomad_server_bootstrap_expect: "{{ play_hosts|length }}"
  roles:
    - role: kbrebanov.nomad
      tags: nomad
      when: use_nomad
      sudo: yes

and the result was:

ENDOR\marca@sjc-cmdb01:~$ cat /etc/init/nomad.conf
description "Service for nomad"

end script

post-stop script
    rm -f /var/run/nomad.pid
end script

Note how the script for launching nomad is blank.

It's documented, but only nomad_addresses_serf is used in nomad.hcl.
