The operator gossip keyring generate 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
nomad operator gossip keyring generate
$ nomad operator gossip keyring generate
