How to configure nomad agent in DEV mode

[matteo3849329]

Hello,
I am trying to do some experiments with a local nomad install in dev mode.
As part of the test, I need to pull some docker images from a private AWS ECR registry.

I tried to replicate the setup described in this post:

Can't pull images from a private repo on ECR - official documentation won't work

I am getting crazy and a bit frustrated trying to run a job that uses an image from a private ECR repo. The nomad client is onprem - can’t use IAM roles. So: I installed amazon-ecr-credential-helper I installed the awscli and set up the credentials in /root/.aws/credentials and the region name in /root/.aws/config. The CLI works. I configured NOMAD client’s config to use a docker auth configuration file: plugin "docker" { config{ auth { config = "/etc/docker-auth.json" } …

… but, it seems that in dev mode, NOMAD is ignoring the agent settings in /etc.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi @matteo3849329,

What configuration are you passing the Nomad agent? When using the -dev flag you can also use other flags to modify the agent, including the -config flag.

Thanks,
jrasell and the Nomad team

thanks a lot jrasell, I somehow thought that nomad should have looked for config files in the default path - but using then -config parameter did the trick.
