nomad-spk-dsm7

Build Synology DSM7-compatible SPK install package for Hashicorp's Nomad

Usage

Release artifacts are available at https://github.com/derekgottlieb/nomad-spk-dsm7/releases. Download the appropriate architecture and either install via the Synology DSM UI or copy the file to the Synology and install by logging in via ssh and running sudo synopkg install /path/to/nomad.spk.

On first install, a sample nomad config will be copied to /var/packages/nomad/etc/nomad.conf that should work if you want to run a single all-in-one setup with both a nomad server and client running on the Synology. Edit this file to suit your needs (e.g., server clustering, integrate with consul, etc). It should be preserved when upgrading by installing newer versions of the SPK package.

Starting/stopping the nomad service via the DSM UI isn't working quite yet, so you'll need to log in via ssh and run sudo synosystemctl start pkg-nomad to start it.

Build

To download the nomad release binary and build the Synology SPK for amd64, arm, and arm64:

./build.sh

To only download and build the Synology SPK for a single architecture:

./build.sh amd64

The config.sh file contains configuration vars that define things like the nomad version to download. Update as needed.

TODOs

• Make the start-stop-status script actually do something useful so you can start/stop the service using the DSM UI.

• Figure out how to correctly setup symlinks for installed binaries in DSM7.

• The SPK INFO file generated currently hard-codes the package architecture as noarch because the Synology developer docs leave something to be desired there (relevant appendix appears to be missing in their developer docs).
