This page is read only. You can view the source, but not change it. Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong.
=====Overview=====
In other technologies we have clusters, in docker, we have Swarm.
Same concept, different name :)

A swarm in docker is set of servers who act as one and each server can be either: Manager or Worked.
It is important to note, that manager is also a worked, but the reverse isn't so.
Managers manage workers and workers obey, nothing different than clusters.

Below, you can see basic overview of the swarm:

{{ :docker_swarm_arch.png?400 |}}

=====Setup=====
Let's set it up.
We will have 3 servers:

  * 1 Manager
  * 2 Workers

====Automatic====
You can see the automatic creation in the Vagrant section: [[vagrant_docker_install|Multiple Servers Configuration with Vagrant]]

After the setup is done, please be sure that workers, have joined, we can create the service as follows:

====Manual====
The creation of the VMs and installation of docker-ce will not be discussed as it has been done in at least 10 other sections.
So let's check how to setup manager and 2 workers:

===Initiation===
The initiation of the Swarm is done from one of the managers as follow:
<Code:none|Init the Swarm>
docker swarm init --listen-addr 10.100.199.200:2377 --advertise-addr 10.100.199.200:2377
</Code>

That command will initialize a swarm with 1 manager who will listen on IP: 10.100.199.200:2377 for docker swarm related activities (advertise-addr) and income traffic (listen-addr)

===Addition===
To join a swarm a server must have the swarm's token. The token can be taken as follows:

<Code:none|Get Join Token for Manager & Worker>
[root@mgr1 ~]# docker swarm join-token manager
To add a manager to this swarm, run the following command:

    docker swarm join --token SWMTKN-1-4mqe4htimsl9wrlzstzx6c18qmibjfjuuihdp3o91pnmssbvml-69b13glzhdgfzh58hbg7jwn69 10.100.199.200:2377

[root@mgr1 ~]# docker swarm join-token worker
To add a worker to this swarm, run the following command:

    docker swarm join --token SWMTKN-1-4mqe4htimsl9wrlzstzx6c18qmibjfjuuihdp3o91pnmssbvml-1h1yrqixgrme7aypq6c4m0npj 10.100.199.200:2377

[root@mgr1 ~]#

</Code>

Now, it is good idea to ALWAYS add the advertise and listener address to the server:

Manually, workers and manager can be joined to the swarm as follows:

<Code:none|Add a node to the Swarm>
docker swarm join --token SWMTKN-1-4mqe4htimsl9wrlzstzx6c18qmibjfjuuihdp3o91pnmssbvml-1h1yrqixgrme7aypq6c4m0npj \
manager_advertise_ip:2377 \
--advertise-addr worker_advert_ip_addr:2377 \ 
--listener-addr worker_listen_ip_addr:2377
</Code>

Insert the correct token depending on, if you are adding worker or a manager. The above is for worker.

=====Create service=====
The creation of the service is rather easy:

<sxh bash>
[root@mgr1 ~]# docker service create --name httpDemoService --replicas 3 -p 80:1234 andonovj/httpserverdemo
nz82mserbonjcoccp7iir7hfn
overall progress: 3 out of 3 tasks
1/3: running   [==================================================>]
2/3: running   [==================================================>]
3/3: running   [==================================================>]
verify: Service converged
