Nomad the Easy Way - Creating GitHub & GitLab Pipelines in Minutes
summary
Claim: full CI/CD from commit to Nomad deploy in minutes using 15-line YAML and one NOMAD_TOKEN secret. Uses GitHub Actions (or GitLab Auto DevOps) to build Docker, push to GitHub Registry, then run a templated project.hcl with nomad validate/plan/run and Consul-backed routing. Archive.org migrates over 100+ repos with ~600 review apps, roughly 2x faster deploys. Demo builds a tiny Node.js image and successfully deploys to Nomad in under five minutes.
