Nomad Nix Driver Plugin

origin: https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/nomad-driver-nix2

A Nomad driver to run Nix jobs. Uses the same isolation mechanism as the exec driver. Partially based on nomad-driver-nix

Requirements

• Go v1.19 or later (to compile the plugin)
• Nomad v1.3 or later (to run the plugin)
• Nix v2.11 or later (to run the plugin), either through NixOS or installed in root mode

Building and using the Nix driver plugin

To build the plugin and run a dev agent:

$ make build
$ nomad agent -dev -config=./example/agent.hcl -plugin-dir=$(pwd)

# in another shell
$ nomad run ./example/example-batch.hcl
$ nomad run ./example/example-service.hcl
$ nomad logs <ALLOCATION ID>

Writing Nix job specifications

See documentation comments in example HCL files.
