nomad-tramp - TRAMP integration for HashiCorp Nomad Docker containers

Author: Matus Goljer matus.goljer@ydistri.com
Version: 0.0.1

This project is a fork of https://github.com/emacs-pe/docker-tramp.el which provides similar functionality for Docker containers.

nomad-tramp.el offers a TRAMP method for Docker containers deployed on HashiCorp Nomad.

NOTE: nomad-tramp.el relies on the nomad exec command and python3. Tested with nomad version 1.2.6+ but should work with any nomad version which supports exec.

Usage

Offers the TRAMP method nomad to access running containers

C-x C-f /nomad:task@job.task-group.alloc-index%node-name:/path/to/file

where

Part	Description
task@	The task name (optional). Default is the first task of the task group.
job	The job name.
task-group	The task group name.
alloc-index	Allocation index. If count = 1, it is always 0
%node-name	Name of the node where the allocation runs (optional)

Troubleshooting

Tramp hangs on Alpine container

Busyboxes built with the ENABLE_FEATURE_EDITING_ASK_TERMINAL config option send also escape sequences, which tramp-wait-for-output doesn't ignores correctly. Tramp upstream fixed in 98a5112 and is available since Tramp>=2.3.

For older versions of Tramp you can dump docker-tramp-compat.el in your load-path somewhere and add the following to your init.el, which overwrites tramp-wait-for-output with the patch applied:

    (require 'docker-tramp-compat)

Tramp does not respect remote PATH

This is a known issue with Tramp, but is not a bug so much as a poor default setting. Adding tramp-own-remote-path to tramp-remote-path will make Tramp use the remote's PATH environment varialbe.

    (add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path 'tramp-own-remote-path)
