Command: namespace apply

The namespace apply command is used create or update a namespace.

Usage

nomad namespace apply [options] <input>

Apply is used to create or update a namespace. The HCL specification file will be read from stdin by specifying "-", otherwise a path to the file is expected.

Instead of a file, you may instead pass the namespace name to create or update as the only argument.

If ACLs are enabled, this command requires a management ACL token. In federated clusters, the namespace will be created in the authoritative region and will be replicated to all federated regions.

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. Alternatively, NOMAD_CLI_NO_COLOR may be set. This option takes precedence over -force-color.

• -force-color: Forces colored command output. This can be used in cases where the usual terminal detection fails. Alternatively, NOMAD_CLI_FORCE_COLOR may be set. This option has no effect if -no-color is also used.

• -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-server-name=<value>: The server name to use as the SNI host when connecting via TLS. Overrides the NOMAD_TLS_SERVER_NAME 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.

• -token: The SecretID of an ACL token to use to authenticate API requests with. Overrides the NOMAD_TOKEN environment variable if set.

Apply Options

• -quota : An optional quota to apply to the namespace.

• -description : An optional human readable description for the namespace.

• -json : Parse the input as a JSON namespace specification.

Examples

Create a namespace with a quota:

$ nomad namespace apply -description "Prod API servers" -quota prod api-prod
Successfully applied namespace "api-prod"!

Remove a quota from a namespace:

$ nomad namespace apply -quota= api-prod

Create a namespace from a file:

$ cat namespace.hcl
name        = "dev"
description = "Namespace for developers"

capabilities {
  enabled_task_drivers  = ["docker", "exec"]
  disabled_task_drivers = ["raw_exec"]
}

meta {
  owner        = "John Doe"
  contact_mail = "john@mycompany.com"
}
$ nomad namespace apply namespace.hcl
