» env Stanza

The env stanza configures a list of environment variables to populate the task's environment before starting.

job "docs" {
  group "example" {
    task "server" {
      env {
        my_key = "my-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

» env Parameters

The "parameters" for the env stanza can be any key-value. The keys and values are both of type string, but they can be specified as other types. They will automatically be converted to strings. Invalid characters such as dashes (-) will be converted to underscores.

» env Examples

The following examples only show the env stanzas. Remember that the env stanza is only valid in the placements listed above.

» Coercion

This example shows the different ways to specify key-value pairs. Internally, these values will be stored as their string representation. No type information is preserved.

env {
  key = "true"
  key = true

  "key" = true

  key = 1.4
  key = "1.4"
}

» Interpolation

This example shows using Nomad interpolation to populate environment variables.

env {
  NODE_CLASS = "${nomad.class}"
}
