This guide will help you to fix the issue when Nomad / Consul are binding jobs on the wrong interface.
Get your private interface
First, run ifconfig
to check if the interface is available and get it's name.
enp7s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1450
inet 10.4.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 10.4.0.3
inet6 fe80::8400:ff:fe74:ac5c prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
ether 86:00:00:74:af:6a txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 8370677 bytes 1497631969 (1.4 GB)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 7785709 bytes 1158079549 (1.1 GB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
If your networking is configured correctly you will find your private interface named like ens...
, enp...
.
Fix
You can either hardcode the interface name or use the go-sockaddr/template templating language to get the private interface name.
The following example will get the name
of the first network interface in the 10.0.0.0/8
address space (this will match all ip addresses from 10.0.0.0
to 10.255.255.255
).
client {
# use go-sockaddr/template
network_interface = "{{ GetPrivateInterfaces | include \"network\" \"10.0.0.0/8\" | attr \"name\" }}"
# hardcode the interface name
network_interface = "enp7s0"
}
It's important to restart Nomad and all jobs afterwards. Only restarting Nomad will not be enough since the job will keep running in the background.

Troubleshooting
To see all configuration values and debug info, run nomad operator debug
and quit using Ctrl+C
. A .tar.gz file will be created in the current directory. Download, extract it and check the cluster/agent-self.json
file for the NetworkInterface
value to see if the value has been set correctly.
