Terraform to setup a consul and nomad cluster by building the number of servers and clients specified. It wraps them around a firewall that can only be accesses via a bastion host (ssh) and a load balancer (http) Uses digital ocean as a provider to create the droplets needed. Sets up Vault to store secrets

Now also uses Consul Connect as a sidecar allocation to interact with other services

It starts nomad and consul as a service and automatically connects all nodes in the cluster

• do_token - api token for digital ocean which can be found in your DigitalOcean Account under "API"
• ssh_fingerprint - the ssh fingerprint to use to connect to your newly created droplets
• bastion_host_id - the droplet id of the bastion host server
• server_count - number of server droplets to create
• client_count - number of client droplets to create

• Create servers and sets up nomad and consul in server mode
• server_count - number of server droplets to create

• Create clients and sets up nomad and consul in client mode
• client_count - number of client droplets to create
• consul_server_ip - a consul server ip

• Create a public load balancer to connect to all servers
• all_server_ids - ids of all servers (droplets)

• Create a firewall around the server and client droplets
• all_server_ids - ids of all servers (droplets)
• load_balancer_id - the id of the digital ocean load balancer
• bastion_id - the droplet id of the bastion host

Scripts for installing required software in newly created droplets

install_consul.sh client|server ${self.ipv4_address_private} ${var.consul_server_ip}

• Installs required software - unzip and docker
• Sets up iptables to allow access to localhost from docker
• Downloads consul and copies the binary to the /user/bin directory
• Starts consul as a service in either server or client mode
• If in client mode, it joins the client to the cluster

install_nomad.sh client|server

• Downloads nomad and copies the binary to the /user/bin directory
• Starts nomad as a service in either server or client mode

install_vault.sh server

• Downloads vault and copies the binary to the /user/bin directory
• Starts vault as a service in server mode
• Initializes Vault
• Unseals vaults to make it ready for use
• Exports the vault token for nomad to use

• eval `ssh-agent -s`
• ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa (add your private key to the ssh agent which corresponds to the ssh_fingerprint)
• terraform init
• terraform plan
• terraform apply
