Originally forked from CiscoCloud/consul-rpm and modified for the ENA environment.

The RPMs may be built with Docker, Vagrant, or manual.

Whatever way you choose you will need to do a few basic things first.

git clone https://github.com/myENA/consul-rpm  ## check out this code
cd consul-rpm                                  ## uhh... you should know
mkdir -p artifacts                             ## prep the artifacts location

docker build -t ena/consul-rpm .                                ## build the image
docker run -v $PWD/artifacts:/tmp/artifacts -it ena/consul-rpm  ## run the image and build the RPMs

vagrant up                         ## provision and build the RPMs

cat build.sh     ## read the script

Five RPMs will be copied to the artifacts folder:

1. consul-<version>-<release>.rpm - The binary and systemd service definition (required)
2. consul-checks-<version>-<release>.rpm - Example check scripts (optional)
3. consul-config-<version>-<release>.rpm - Example agent configuration (recommended)
4. consul-services-<version>-<release>.rpm - Example service definitions (optional)
5. consul-webui-<version>-<release>.rpm - Web UI files (optional - latest consul includes these in binary)

1. Install the RPM(s) that you need
2. Review and edit (if needed) /etc/sysconfig/consul and associated config under /etc/consul.d/* (config package)
3. Start the service and tail the logs: systemctl start consul.service and journalctl -f --no-pager -u consul
4. Optionally start on reboot with: systemctl enable consul.service

Config files are loaded in lexicographical order from the config-dir specified in /etc/sysconfig/consul (config package). You may modify and/or add to the provided configuration as needed.
