# Deployment Checklist
Use this checklist when deploying a new service to ensure you don't miss critical steps.
## Pre-Deployment
### Application Requirements
- [ ] **Health endpoint implemented** - `/health` returns 200 OK
- Returns JSON with status
- Responds quickly (<500ms)
- Doesn't block on external services
- [ ] **Port configuration** - App reads `PORT` from environment
```python
PORT = int(os.getenv('PORT', 5000))
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=PORT)
```
- [ ] **Graceful shutdown** - App handles SIGTERM signal
- Closes connections cleanly
- Finishes current requests
- Exits within 30 seconds
- [ ] **Logging configured** - Uses stdout/stderr
- Structured logging (JSON preferred)
- Includes timestamps
- No log files (Nomad captures stdout)
### Docker Image
- [ ] **Dockerfile complete** - Based on `Dockerfile.complete`
- Multi-stage build (smaller image)
- Non-root user (uid 1000)
- Health check defined
- Minimal base image
- [ ] **Image tested locally**
```bash
docker build -t myapp:test .
docker run -p 5000:5000 -e PORT=5000 myapp:test
curl http://localhost:5000/health
```
- [ ] **Image pushed to registry**
```bash
docker tag myapp:test registry.i80.dk/gitea/myapp:latest
docker push registry.i80.dk/gitea/myapp:latest
```
### Nomad Job Configuration
- [ ] **Job file created** - Copy from `nomad-job-complete.hcl.tmpl`
- Replace `[[PROJECT_NAME]]` with actual name
- Replace `[[PORT]]` with app port (usually 5000)
- Update resource limits (CPU/memory)
- [ ] **Health check configured** - Uses named port, not hardcoded
```hcl
check {
port = "http" # NOT "5000"!
}
```
- [ ] **Traefik tags correct** - Domain matches expected URL
```hcl
"traefik.http.routers.myapp.rule=Host(`myapp.i80.dk`)"
```
- [ ] **Volumes declared** (if needed)
- Volume source matches Autobox config
- Mount path correct
- Permissions considered
- [ ] **Secrets configured** - Using chosen workaround method
- Environment variables OR
- File-based secrets OR
- Consul KV
- [ ] **Job validates** - No syntax errors
```bash
nomad job validate nomad-job.hcl
```
### Autobox Configuration
- [ ] **Volumes created** (if needed)
```bash
# Run on Autobox
sudo ./setup-nomad-volumes.sh myapp
```
- [ ] **Volumes show in agent-info**
```bash
nomad agent-info | grep myapp-data
```
- [ ] **Secrets file created** (if using file-based secrets)
```bash
sudo vim /opt/nomad-secrets/myapp/secrets.env
```
- [ ] **Permissions correct**
```bash
ls -la /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data # Should be 1000:1000
```
### Gitea CI/CD (if using)
- [ ] **Workflow file created** - Copy from `main.yml.tmpl`
- Replace `[[PROJECT_NAME]]` everywhere
- Registry credentials configured
- [ ] **Secrets configured** - In Gitea repository settings
- `secrets.username` - Registry username
- `secrets.password` - Registry password
- [ ] **Self-hosted runner** - Has necessary access
- Docker installed
- Nomad CLI installed
- SSH access to Nomad server
## Deployment
### Initial Deployment
- [ ] **Job submitted**
```bash
nomad job run nomad-job.hcl
```
- [ ] **Allocation running**
```bash
nomad job status myapp
# Should show: Running = 1
```
- [ ] **No errors in logs**
```bash
nomad alloc logs -f <alloc-id> myapp-task
```
### Consul Registration
- [ ] **Service registered**
```bash
consul catalog service myapp
```
- [ ] **Service healthy**
```bash
consul catalog service myapp
# Look for: Checks: http_health: passing
```
- [ ] **Tags correct**
```bash
consul catalog service myapp
# Verify traefik tags present
```
### DNS & Access
- [ ] **DNS record created** - Check consul-template output
```bash
cat /certs/consul/trinity_powerdns_records.txt | grep myapp
```
- [ ] **Nginx config generated**
```bash
grep myapp /certs/consul-nginx/conf.d/services.conf
```
- [ ] **Nginx reloaded** - Check watcher logs
```bash
tail -f /var/log/nginx_restater.log
```
- [ ] **Service accessible** - Test public URL
```bash
curl https://myapp.i80.dk
curl https://myapp.i80.dk/health
```
## Post-Deployment
### Verification
- [ ] **Health check passing** - For at least 5 minutes
```bash
watch -n 5 'consul catalog service myapp'
```
- [ ] **No restarts** - Allocation stable
```bash
nomad alloc status <alloc-id>
# Check "Recent Events" - no restarts
```
- [ ] **Logs clean** - No errors or warnings
```bash
nomad alloc logs -f <alloc-id> myapp-task
```
- [ ] **Performance acceptable**
- Response time < 1s
- Memory usage stable
- CPU usage reasonable
### Monitoring
- [ ] **Metrics accessible** - If implemented
```bash
curl https://myapp.i80.dk/metrics
```
- [ ] **Logs searchable** - Can find application logs
```bash
nomad alloc logs -f <alloc-id> myapp-task | grep ERROR
```
- [ ] **Alerts configured** - If using monitoring system
- Health check failures
- High error rate
- High memory usage
### Documentation
- [ ] **Service documented** - In team wiki/docs
- What it does
- Where it's deployed
- How to access it
- Known issues
- [ ] **Runbook created** - For operational issues
- How to restart
- How to check logs
- Common troubleshooting steps
- Escalation path
- [ ] **Secrets documented** - Where they're stored
- Which Consul KV keys
- Which files on Autobox
- Who has access
## Rollback Plan
- [ ] **Previous version tagged** - In case of issues
```bash
docker tag myapp:latest myapp:stable
```
- [ ] **Rollback tested** - Know how to revert
```bash
# Update job file to use :stable tag
# nomad job run nomad-job.hcl
```
- [ ] **Data backup** - Before first deployment
```bash
# If using volumes
sudo tar -czf /backup/myapp-data.tar.gz /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data
```
## Common Issues Checklist
If deployment fails, check:
- [ ] Is `/health` endpoint implemented and returning 200?
- [ ] Is app binding to `0.0.0.0` (not `127.0.0.1`)?
- [ ] Is app reading `PORT` from environment variable?
- [ ] Are health check port references correct (no hardcoded ports)?
- [ ] Do volume paths match between Autobox and Nomad job?
- [ ] Are volume permissions correct (uid 1000)?
- [ ] Are secrets accessible (environment or files)?
- [ ] Is Docker image pulling successfully?
- [ ] Is allocation getting scheduled (not pending)?
- [ ] Are there port conflicts?
## Quick Debugging Commands
```bash
# Service status
consul catalog service myapp
nomad job status myapp
# Allocation details
ALLOC_ID=$(nomad job status myapp | grep running | head -1 | awk '{print $1}')
nomad alloc status $ALLOC_ID
# Logs
nomad alloc logs -f $ALLOC_ID myapp-task
nomad alloc logs -stderr -f $ALLOC_ID myapp-task
# Exec into container
nomad alloc exec -i -t $ALLOC_ID /bin/sh
# Health check test
PORT=$(nomad alloc status $ALLOC_ID | grep "Port.*http" | awk '{print $3}' | cut -d':' -f2)
curl http://192.168.15.124:$PORT/health
# Restart
nomad job restart myapp
# Force reschedule
nomad job stop -purge myapp
nomad job run nomad-job.hcl
```

# Nomad Deployment Guide for i80.dk Infrastructure
**Last Updated:** 2025-11-28
This guide covers deploying Python applications to your Nomad cluster with proper health checks, volumes, and Vault workarounds.
## 📋 Table of Contents
- [Quick Start](#quick-start)
- [Health Checks - The #1 Pain Point](#health-checks---the-1-pain-point)
- [Host Volumes - The #2 Pain Point](#host-volumes---the-2-pain-point)

- [Gitea CI/CD Workflow](#gitea-cicd-workflow)
- [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
---
## Quick Start
### 1. Add Health Endpoint to Your App
**CRITICAL:** Your app MUST respond to `/health` with HTTP 200 OK.
```python
@app.route('/health')
def health():
return jsonify({'status': 'healthy'}), 200
```
### 2. Use Complete Nomad Job Template
Copy `.gitea/workflows/nomad-job-complete.hcl.tmpl` to your project and customize:
```bash
cp .gitea/workflows/nomad-job-complete.hcl.tmpl .gitea/workflows/nomad-job.hcl
```
Replace `[[PROJECT_NAME]]` and `[[PORT]]` with your values.
### 3. Build and Deploy
```bash
# Build Docker image
docker build -t registry.i80.dk/gitea/myapp:latest .
# Push to registry
docker push registry.i80.dk/gitea/myapp:latest
# Deploy to Nomad
nomad job run .gitea/workflows/nomad-job.hcl
```
---
## Health Checks - The #1 Pain Point
### Why Health Checks Fail
**Common mistakes:**
1.**No /health endpoint** - App doesn't implement health endpoint
2.**Wrong port** - Health check uses wrong port variable
3.**App not ready** - Health check runs before app starts
4.**Blocking endpoint** - /health takes too long to respond
5.**Wrong HTTP method** - App expects POST, Consul sends GET
### Proper Health Check Implementation
**In your Flask app:**
```python
import time
app_start_time = time.time()
@app.route('/health')
def health():
"""
Health check endpoint for Consul/Nomad.
Returns:
200 OK: Service is healthy
503: Service is not ready or shutting down
"""
# Give app time to initialize (optional)
if time.time() - app_start_time < 5:
return jsonify({'status': 'starting'}), 503
# Add your health checks
try:
# Check database connection
# db.execute("SELECT 1")
# Check external dependencies
# api_client.ping()
return jsonify({
'status': 'healthy',
'uptime': time.time() - app_start_time
}), 200
except Exception as e:
return jsonify({
'status': 'unhealthy',
'error': str(e)
}), 503
```
**In your Nomad job:**
```hcl
service {
name = "myapp"
port = "http"
check {
name = "http_health"
type = "http"
path = "/health"
interval = "10s"
timeout = "2s"
port = "http" # Use named port, NOT hardcoded!
# Give app time to start before first check
check_restart {
limit = 3
grace = "10s"
ignore_warnings = false
}
}
}
```
### Testing Health Checks Locally
```bash
# Start your app
python app.py
# Test health endpoint
curl http://localhost:5000/health
# Should return:
# {"status": "healthy", "uptime": 123.45}
```
### Common Health Check Issues
**Issue: Service marked unhealthy immediately**
**Solution:** Add `check_restart` grace period:
```hcl
check_restart {
limit = 3
grace = "10s" # Wait 10s before first check
}
```
**Issue: Health check timeout**
**Symptoms:**
```
Health check timed out (timeout: 2s)
```
**Solutions:**
- Make /health endpoint faster
- Increase timeout: `timeout = "5s"`
- Remove slow operations from health check
**Issue: Wrong port**
**Symptoms:**
```
Connection refused on port 5000
```
**Solution:** Use dynamic port in Nomad job:
```hcl
# ❌ WRONG - hardcoded port
check {
port = "5000"
}
# ✅ CORRECT - use named port
check {
port = "http"
}
# And in your app environment:
env {
PORT = "${NOMAD_PORT_http}"
}
```
---
## Host Volumes - The #2 Pain Point
### Why Host Volumes Fail
**Common mistakes:**
1.**Volume not declared on Nomad client** - Must configure on Autobox first!
2.**Wrong source name** - Source must match client config
3.**Permission issues** - Volume owned by root, app runs as user
4.**Mount path conflicts** - Path already exists in container
### Setting Up Host Volumes
**Step 1: Configure on Nomad Client (Autobox)**
**File:** `/etc/nomad.d/client.hcl` on Autobox
```hcl
client {
enabled = true
host_volume "myapp-data" {
path = "/opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data"
read_only = false
}
}
```
**Create directory:**
```bash
# On Autobox
sudo mkdir -p /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data
sudo chown 1000:1000 /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data # Match container user
sudo chmod 755 /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data
```
**Restart Nomad client:**
```bash
sudo systemctl restart nomad
```
**Step 2: Use Volume in Nomad Job**
```hcl
group "myapp-group" {
volume "data" {
type = "host"
source = "myapp-data" # Must match name in client.hcl
read_only = false
}
task "myapp-task" {
volume_mount {
volume = "data"
destination = "/app/data"
read_only = false
}
config {
image = "registry.i80.dk/gitea/myapp:latest"
}
}
}
```
**Step 3: Use in Your App**
```python
import os
# Data directory from mounted volume
DATA_DIR = os.getenv('DATA_DIR', '/app/data')
# SQLite database in persistent volume
db_path = os.path.join(DATA_DIR, 'app.db')
```
### Volume Permissions
**Best Practice: Run container as non-root user**
**In Dockerfile:**
```dockerfile
# Create non-root user
RUN useradd -m -u 1000 appuser
# Switch to user
USER appuser
```
**On Autobox:**
```bash
# Set ownership to match container user (uid 1000)
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data
```
### Checking Volume Mounts
```bash
# On Nomad - check allocation
nomad alloc status <alloc-id>
# Look for volume mounts section:
# Mounted Volumes:
# data -> /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data
# SSH to Autobox and verify
ls -la /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data
```
### Volume Backup
**Simple backup script:**
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# backup-volumes.sh
VOLUME_PATH="/opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data"
BACKUP_PATH="/backup/$(date +%Y%m%d)"
mkdir -p "$BACKUP_PATH"
tar -czf "$BACKUP_PATH/myapp-data.tar.gz" "$VOLUME_PATH"
```
---
## Vault Workarounds
### Problem
Your Vault is currently not working. Can't use proper secret management.
### Temporary Solutions
**Option 1: Environment Variables in Nomad Job (NOT RECOMMENDED)**
```hcl
env {
APP_ENV = "production"
PORT = "${NOMAD_PORT_http}"
DATABASE_URL = "sqlite:///app/data/app.db"
API_KEY = "your-secret-key-here" # BAD: Secret in plain text!
}
```
**Pros:**
- Simple
- Works immediately
**Cons:**
- ❌ Secrets visible in Nomad UI
- ❌ Secrets in version control (if committed)
- ❌ Hard to rotate secrets
**Option 2: File-Based Secrets (BETTER)**
**Store secrets in file on Autobox:**
```bash
# On Autobox
sudo mkdir -p /opt/nomad-secrets/myapp
sudo vim /opt/nomad-secrets/myapp/secrets.env
# Content:
# API_KEY=your-secret-key
# DB_PASSWORD=your-db-password
sudo chown 1000:1000 /opt/nomad-secrets/myapp/secrets.env
sudo chmod 600 /opt/nomad-secrets/myapp/secrets.env
```
**Mount as host volume:**
```hcl
group "myapp-group" {
volume "secrets" {
type = "host"
source = "myapp-secrets"
read_only = true # Read-only for security
}
task "myapp-task" {
volume_mount {
volume = "secrets"
destination = "/app/secrets"
read_only = true
}
# Read secrets file at startup
config {
command = "sh"
args = ["-c", "source /app/secrets/secrets.env && flask run --port $PORT"]
}
}
}
```
**Pros:**
- ✅ Secrets not in Nomad job file
- ✅ Can be backed up separately
- ✅ Easier to rotate
**Cons:**
- ⚠️ Still manual management
- ⚠️ Need to manage file permissions
**Option 3: Consul KV Store (RECOMMENDED TEMPORARY)**
```bash
# Store secret in Consul
consul kv put secret/myapp/api_key "your-secret-key"
```
**In Nomad job template:**
```hcl
task "myapp-task" {
template {
data = <<EOH
{{ with key "secret/myapp/api_key" }}
API_KEY="{{ . }}"
{{ end }}
EOH
destination = "secrets/config.env"
env = true
}
}
```
**Pros:**
- ✅ Uses existing infrastructure (Consul)
- ✅ Can be managed via API
- ✅ Not visible in Nomad UI
**Cons:**
- ⚠️ Not as secure as Vault
- ⚠️ Manual secret rotation
### When Vault is Fixed
**Proper Vault integration:**
```hcl
task "myapp-task" {
vault {
policies = ["myapp-policy"]
}
template {
data = <<EOH
{{ with secret "secret/data/myapp" }}
API_KEY="{{ .Data.data.api_key }}"
DATABASE_URL="{{ .Data.data.database_url }}"
{{ end }}
EOH
destination = "secrets/config.env"
env = true
}
}
```

## Complete Nomad Job Example
See `.gitea/workflows/nomad-job-complete.hcl.tmpl` for a fully documented example with:
- ✅ Proper health checks with grace period
- ✅ Host volume configuration
- ✅ Vault workarounds
- ✅ Auto-revert on failed deployments
- ✅ Graceful shutdown handling
- ✅ Resource limits
- ✅ Log rotation
---
## Dockerfile Best Practices
### Multi-Stage Build
```dockerfile
# Builder stage
FROM python:3.11-slim as builder
WORKDIR /app
RUN pip install --user -r requirements.txt
# Runtime stage (smaller)
FROM python:3.11-slim
COPY --from=builder /root/.local /home/appuser/.local
USER appuser
CMD ["flask", "run"]
```
**Benefits:**
- Smaller final image
- Faster deployment
- Less attack surface
### Non-Root User
```dockerfile
# Create user
RUN useradd -m -u 1000 appuser
# Switch to user
USER appuser
```
**Why:**
- Security best practice
- Required for some volume mounts
- Prevents privilege escalation
### Health Check
```dockerfile
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --start-period=10s \
CMD curl -f http://localhost:${PORT}/health || exit 1
```
**Benefits:**
- Docker can detect unhealthy containers
- Nomad respects Docker health checks
- Extra layer of monitoring
---
## Gitea CI/CD Workflow
### Complete Workflow Example
See `.gitea/workflows/main.yml.tmpl` for a complete Gitea Actions workflow that:
1. ✅ Builds Docker image
2. ✅ Tags with commit hash + latest
3. ✅ Pushes to private registry
4. ✅ Validates Nomad job
5. ✅ Stops old deployment
6. ✅ Deploys new version
7. ✅ Updates nginx configuration
8. ✅ Updates forwarder configuration
### Secrets in Gitea
Configure in Gitea repository settings:
- `secrets.username` - Registry username
- `secrets.password` - Registry password
### Self-Hosted Runner
Your runner must have:
- Docker installed
- Nomad CLI installed
- SSH access to Nomad server
- Access to private registry
---
## Troubleshooting
### Service Marked Unhealthy
**Check Consul:**
```bash
# On Nomad
consul catalog service myapp
# Look for:
# Checks:
# - http_health: critical
```
**Check allocation logs:**
```bash
nomad alloc logs -f <alloc-id> myapp-task
```
**Common causes:**
- /health endpoint not implemented
- App crashed
- Wrong port
- Slow startup
### Container Keeps Restarting
**Check allocation status:**
```bash
nomad alloc status <alloc-id>
# Look at Recent Events:
# Started -> Restart Signaled -> Started ...
```
**Common causes:**
- Failed health checks
- App crash on startup
- Missing dependencies
- Port already in use
### Volume Mount Issues
**Check Nomad client config:**
```bash
# On Autobox
sudo nomad agent-info | grep -A 10 "host_volumes"
```
**Check permissions:**
```bash
# On Autobox
ls -la /opt/nomad-volumes/myapp-data
# Should be owned by uid 1000 (or your container user)
```
**Check allocation:**
```bash
nomad alloc status <alloc-id>
# Look for Mounted Volumes section
```
### Port Conflicts
**Symptoms:**
```
Failed to start task: bind: address already in use
```
**Solution:** Nomad assigns dynamic ports automatically:
```hcl
network {
port "http" {
to = 5000 # Container internal port
# Nomad picks external port (30000-32000)
}
}
env {
PORT = "${NOMAD_PORT_http}" # Use Nomad's assigned port
}
```
### Secrets Not Loading
**Check Consul KV:**
```bash
consul kv get secret/myapp/api_key
```
**Check template rendering:**
```bash
nomad alloc fs <alloc-id> secrets/
# Should see config.env or your secret files
```
**View rendered template:**
```bash
nomad alloc fs <alloc-id> secrets/config.env
```

### Utilities
8. **`setup-nomad-volumes.sh`** ⭐️ **NEW**
- Automated script to setup volumes on Autobox
- Creates data and secrets directories
- Configures Nomad client
- Sets proper permissions
- Restarts Nomad and verifies
## 🎯 Pain Points Solved
### 1. Health Checks ⚕️ **SOLVED**
**Problem:** Services marked unhealthy, constant restarts
**Solution:**
- `app_example.py` shows proper implementation
- `NOMAD_DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md` explains all the gotchas
- Nomad job has proper grace periods
- Includes backup TCP check
**Key learnings documented:**
- Must use named ports, not hardcoded
- Add startup grace period
- Keep health check fast (<500ms)
- Return proper HTTP status codes
### 2. Host Volumes 💾 **SOLVED**
**Problem:** Volume mounts fail, permission issues, data not persisting
**Solution:**
- `setup-nomad-volumes.sh` automates entire setup
- Nomad job shows proper volume declaration
- Documentation covers all permission issues
- Examples for both data and secrets volumes
**Key learnings documented:**
- Configure on Autobox FIRST
- Match uid (1000) between container and host
- Test with `nomad agent-info`
- Backup volumes regularly
### 3. Vault Not Working 🔐 **SOLVED**
**Problem:** Vault is down, can't use proper secret management
**Solution:** Three workaround approaches documented:
**Option 1:** Environment variables in Nomad job
- Fast but insecure
- Good for development only
**Option 2:** File-based secrets (RECOMMENDED)
- Secrets stored in `/opt/nomad-secrets/`
- Mounted as read-only volume
- Better security than environment variables
- `setup-nomad-volumes.sh` creates structure
**Option 3:** Consul KV store
- Uses existing infrastructure
- API-manageable
- Better than files, not as good as Vault
**Bonus:** Vault integration template ready for when it's fixed!
## 📚 How to Use
### For New Projects
1. Copy entire template directory:
```bash
cp -r PythonTemplateProject MyNewApp
```
2. Follow Quick Start in `README.md`
3. Use `DEPLOYMENT_CHECKLIST.md` for each deployment
4. Refer to `NOMAD_DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md` when issues arise
### For Existing Projects
1. Copy `app_example.py` health endpoint to your app
2. Update your Dockerfile based on `Dockerfile.complete`
3. Update your Nomad job from `nomad-job-complete.hcl.tmpl`
4. Run `setup-nomad-volumes.sh` if you need volumes
## 🎓 Key Concepts Explained
### Health Checks
