» Command: server-join

The server-join command joins the local server to one or more Nomad servers. Joining is only required for server nodes, and only needs to succeed against one or more of the provided addresses. Once joined, the gossip layer will handle discovery of the other server nodes in the cluster.

» Usage 

nomad server-join [options] <addr> [<addr>...]

One or more server addresses are required. If multiple server addresses are specified, then an attempt will be made to join each one. If one or more nodes are joined successfully, the exit code will be 0. Otherwise, the exit code will be 1.

» General Options

  • -address=<addr>: The address of the Nomad server. Overrides the NOMAD_ADDR environment variable if set. Defaults to http://127.0.0.1:4646.

  • -region=<region>: The region of the Nomad server to forward commands to. Overrides the NOMAD_REGION environment variable if set. Defaults to the Agent's local region.

  • -no-color: Disables colored command output.

  • -ca-cert=<path>: Path to a PEM encoded CA cert file to use to verify the Nomad server SSL certificate. Overrides the NOMAD_CACERT environment variable if set.

  • -ca-path=<path>: Path to a directory of PEM encoded CA cert files to verify the Nomad server SSL certificate. If both -ca-cert and -ca-path are specified, -ca-cert is used. Overrides the NOMAD_CAPATH environment variable if set.

  • -client-cert=<path>: Path to a PEM encoded client certificate for TLS authentication to the Nomad server. Must also specify -client-key. Overrides the NOMAD_CLIENT_CERT environment variable if set.

  • -client-key=<path>: Path to an unencrypted PEM encoded private key matching the client certificate from -client-cert. Overrides the NOMAD_CLIENT_KEY environment variable if set.

  • -tls-skip-verify: Do not verify TLS certificate. This is highly not recommended. Verification will also be skipped if NOMAD_SKIP_VERIFY is set.

» Examples

Join the local server to a remote server:

$ nomad server-join 10.0.0.8:4648
