Command: operator keygen
Warning: This command is deprecated and will be removed in
Nomad 1.5.0. Use the nomad operator gossip keyring generate
subcommand instead.
The operator keygen
command generates an encryption key that can be used for
Nomad server's gossip traffic encryption. The keygen command uses a
cryptographically strong pseudo-random number generator to generate the key.
The resulting key is encoded in the RFC4648 "URL and filename safe" base64
alphabet. If you use another tool such as OpenSSL to generate the gossip key,
you should pipe the input through the base64(1)
command to ensure it is
safely encoded. For example: openssl rand 32 | base64
