Command: job revert

The job revert command is used to revert a job to a prior version of the job. The available versions to revert to can be found using job history command.

The revert command will use a Consul token with the following preference: first the -consul-token flag, then the $CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN environment variable. Because the consul token used to run the targeted job version was not persisted, it must be provided to revert if the targeted job version includes Consul Connect enabled services and the Nomad servers were configured to require consul service identity authentication.

The revert command will use a Vault token with the following preference: first the -vault-token flag, then the $VAULT_TOKEN environment variable. Because the vault token used to run the targeted job version was not persisted, it must be provided to revert if the targeted job version includes Vault policies and the Nomad servers were configured to require vault policy authentication.

Usage

nomad job revert [options] <job> <version>

The job revert command requires two inputs, the job ID and the version of that job to revert to.

When ACLs are enabled, this command requires a token with the submit-job capability for the job's namespace. The list-jobs capability is required to run the command with a job prefix instead of the exact job ID. The read-job capability is required to monitor the resulting evaluation when -detach is not used.

General Options

-address=<addr>: The address of the Nomad server. Overrides the NOMAD_ADDR environment variable if set. Defaults to http://127.0.0.1:4646.
-region=<region>: The region of the Nomad server to forward commands to. Overrides the NOMAD_REGION environment variable if set. Defaults to the Agent's local region.
-namespace=<namespace>: The target namespace for queries and actions bound to a namespace. Overrides the NOMAD_NAMESPACE environment variable if set. If set to '*', job and alloc subcommands query all namespaces authorized to user. Defaults to the "default" namespace.
-no-color: Disables colored command output. Alternatively, NOMAD_CLI_NO_COLOR may be set. This option takes precedence over -force-color.
-force-color: Forces colored command output. This can be used in cases where the usual terminal detection fails. Alternatively, NOMAD_CLI_FORCE_COLOR may be set. This option has no effect if -no-color is also used.
-ca-cert=<path>: Path to a PEM encoded CA cert file to use to verify the Nomad server SSL certificate. Overrides the NOMAD_CACERT environment variable if set.
-ca-path=<path>: Path to a directory of PEM encoded CA cert files to verify the Nomad server SSL certificate. If both -ca-cert and -ca-path are specified, -ca-cert is used. Overrides the NOMAD_CAPATH environment variable if set.
-client-cert=<path>: Path to a PEM encoded client certificate for TLS authentication to the Nomad server. Must also specify -client-key. Overrides the NOMAD_CLIENT_CERT environment variable if set.
-client-key=<path>: Path to an unencrypted PEM encoded private key matching the client certificate from -client-cert. Overrides the NOMAD_CLIENT_KEY environment variable if set.
-tls-server-name=<value>: The server name to use as the SNI host when connecting via TLS. Overrides the NOMAD_TLS_SERVER_NAME environment variable if set.
-tls-skip-verify: Do not verify TLS certificate. This is highly not recommended. Verification will also be skipped if NOMAD_SKIP_VERIFY is set.
-token: The SecretID of an ACL token to use to authenticate API requests with. Overrides the NOMAD_TOKEN environment variable if set.

Revert Options

-detach: Return immediately instead of monitoring. A new evaluation ID will be output, which can be used to examine the evaluation using the eval status command.
-consul-token: If set, the passed Consul token is sent along with the revert request to the Nomad servers. This overrides the token found in the $CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN environment variable.
-vault-token: If set, the passed Vault token is sent along with the revert request to the Nomad servers. This overrides the token found in the $VAULT_TOKEN environment variable.
-verbose: Show full information.

Examples

Revert to an older version of a job:
