Nomad Nix Driver Plugin

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.
