nomad namespace apply command reference

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.

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"]
  enabled_network_modes  = ["bridge", "cni/custom"]
  disabled_network_modes = ["host"]
}

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