Overview

This is a NGINX jail that can be started with pot but it can also be deployed via nomad.

NGINX is started as blocking task when the jail is started (see nginx-nomad+4.sh). The image also is slimmed (see nginx-nomad+3.sh)

For more details about nomadimages, see about potluck.

Nomad Job Description Example

An easy way to use the jail is to copy in a nginx.conf file on start and mount the www directory into the jail (which needs to be referenced by the nginx.conf file of course):

job "example" {
  datacenters = ["datacenter"]
  type        = "service"

  group "group1" {
    count = 1 

    task "www1" {
      driver = "pot"

      service {
        tags = ["nginx", "www"]
        name = "nginx-example-service"
        port = "http"

         check {
            type     = "tcp"
            name     = "tcp"
            interval = "60s"
            timeout  = "30s"
          }
      }

      config {
        image = "https://potluck.honeyguide.net/nginx-nomad"
        pot = "nginx-nomad-amd64-12_1"
        tag = "1.1.2"
        command = "nginx"
        args = ["-g","'daemon off;'"]

       copy = [
         "/mnt/s3/web/nginx.conf:/usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf",
       ]
       mount = [
         "/mnt/s3/web/www:/mnt"
       ]
        port_map = {
          http = "80"
        }
      }

      resources {
        cpu = 200
        memory = 64

        network {
          mbits = 10
          port "http" {}
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
