Thank you @lgfa29 for trying this out.
As written at the end of the Installation document:
Vault is not yet initialized. Therefore, Vault health checks don't pass and Nomad can't properly run since it's configured to integrate with Vault.
Did you follow the Vault initialization document after? Do you have a suggestion to improve or automate this onboarding?
Oh, of course there is, sorry I missed that 😅
I saw the table with the URLs and started clicking on then, which moved me away from the instructions, and then I went debugging.
Maybe move the Vault notice before the table with the links? But the steps are all there, it was my fault that I missed.
Thanks for the reply!
No problem, thanks for the feedback. 😉
I just improved the documentation and navigation between steps. It should be easier to follow now.
All green after actually following the instructions 😅 🥳
