"waypoint deploy" not injecting WAYPOINT_* vars

Waypoint
1

I’m trying to deploy to Nomad using waypoint and the WAYPOINT_* variables are not being injected so the entrypoint can talk back to the server.

This is the deploy stanza:

deploy {
  use "nomad" {
    datacenter = var.nomad_datacenter
    service_port = 3000
  }
}

All that is being set is the following:

WAYPOINT_DEPLOYMENT_ID: <the Id>
WAYPOINT_SERVER_DISABLE: 1

I can manually set them in the static_environment and things work, but it’s not a great experience:

deploy {
  use "nomad" {
    datacenter = var.nomad_datacenter
    static_environment = {
      WAYPOINT_SERVER_ADDR = "<server_address>:9701"
      WAYPOINT_SERVER_TLS = true
      WAYPOINT_SERVER_TLS_SKIP_VERIFY = true
      WAYPOINT_CEB_INVITE_TOKEN ="<invite token>"
    }
    service_port = 3000
  }
}

Deployment Details:

The waypoint server is running in Nomad and is fronted by an AWS NLB for both ports 9701 and 9702.

The server and the client are both version v0.6.3

Any ideas?

I finally figured this out. For some reason the server config vars were not set on install. I was able to solve my problem with the following:

waypoint server config-set \
    -advertise-addr=<the server addr> \
    -advertise-tls-skip-verify=true \
    -advertise-tls=true

Hi @dwanek,

Glad you sorted it out. This is particularly annoying when installing to nomad because we don’t currently have a default address to use, and so folks run into this.

We’re discussing at least providing better feedback about this so folks aren’t confused why the entrypoints aren’t connecting.
