Nomad plugins

Plugins extend Nomad's functionality. Review configuration, installation, usage, and reference information for device and task driver plugins that are not bundled with Nomad.

Consult the Plugin authoring guide for details on how to create your own device, task driver, and host volume plugins.

Configure plugin directories

You may configure the directories where you place plugin executable binaries. The following table lists the Agent configuration field as well as the default directory for each plugin type. Note that the default directories use the value of the configured data_dir parameter, which specifies a local directory.

Type	Plugin directory configuration parameter	Default plugin directory	Plugin configuration
Device driver	`plugin_dir`	`<data_dir>/plugins`	`plugin` block
Task driver	`plugin_dir`	`<data_dir>/plugins`	`plugin` block
Dynamic host volume	`client.host_volume_plugin_dir`	`<data_dir>/host_volume_plugins`	`plugin` block
Secret provider	`client.common_plugin_dir`/secrets	`<data_dir>/common_plugins`	`plugin` block
CNI reference	`client.cni_path`	`/opt/cni/bin`	`client.cni_config_dir`
