Docker Swarm Tutorial

Note: This tutorial uses Docker Machine to simulate multiple machines on your desktop. There's an easier way to learn swarm mode, and that is using Play with Docker. This tutorial is preserved for legacy reasons, and also in case you really want to learn to do this on your own machine.

Docker includes swarm mode for natively managing a cluster of Docker Engines called a swarm. You can use the Docker CLI to create a swarm, deploy application services to a swarm, and manage swarm behavior. This tutorial uses Docker Machine to create multiple nodes on your desktop. If you prefer you can create those nodes in your own cloud or on multiple machines.

Important Note You don't need to use the Docker CLI to perform these operations. You can use docker stack deploy --compose-file STACKNAME.yml STACKNAME instead. For an introduction to using a stack file in a compose file format to deploy an app, check out Deploying an app to a Swarm.

Preparation

You need to have Docker and Docker Machine installed on your system. Download Docker for your platform and install it.

Tips:

  • If you are using Docker for Windows you will need to use the Hyper-V driver for Docker Machine. That will require a bit more set-up. See the Microsoft Hyper-V driver documentation for directions on setting it up.

Creating the nodes and Swarm

Docker Machine can be used to:

  • Install and run Docker on Mac or Windows
  • Provision and manage multiple remote Docker hosts
  • Provision Swarm clusters

But it can also be used to create multiple nodes on your local machine. There's a bash script in this repository that does just that and creates a swarm. There's also a powershell Hyper-V version. On this page we're walking through the bash script, but the steps, aside from set-up, are a basically the same for the Hyper-V version.

This first step creates three machines, and names the machines manager1, manager2, and manager3

#!/bin/bash

# Swarm mode using Docker Machine

#This configures the number of workers and managers in the swarm
managers=3
workers=3

# This creates the manager machines
echo "======> Creating $managers manager machines ...";
for node in $(seq 1 $managers);
do
	echo "======> Creating manager$node machine ...";
	docker-machine create -d virtualbox manager$node;
done

This second step creates three more machines, and names them worker1, worker2, and worker3

# This create worker machines
echo "======> Creating $workers worker machines ...";
for node in $(seq 1 $workers);
do
	echo "======> Creating worker$node machine ...";
	docker-machine create -d virtualbox worker$node;
done

# This lists all machines created
docker-machine ls

Next you create a swarm by initializing it on the first manager. You do this by using docker-machine ssh to run docker swarm init

# initialize swarm mode and create a manager
echo "======> Initializing first swarm manager ..."
docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker swarm init --listen-addr $(docker-machine ip manager1) --advertise-addr $(docker-machine ip manager1)"

Next you get join tokens for managers and workers.

# get manager and worker tokens
export manager_token=`docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker swarm join-token manager -q"`
export worker_token=`docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker swarm join-token worker -q"`

Then join the other masters to the Swarm

for node in $(seq 2 $managers);
do
	echo "======> manager$node joining swarm as manager ..."
	docker-machine ssh manager$node \
		"docker swarm join \
		--token $manager_token \
		--listen-addr $(docker-machine ip manager$node) \
		--advertise-addr $(docker-machine ip manager$node) \
		$(docker-machine ip manager1)"
done

Finally, add the worker machines and join them to the swarm.

# workers join swarm
for node in $(seq 1 $workers);
do
	echo "======> worker$node joining swarm as worker ..."
	docker-machine ssh worker$node \
	"docker swarm join \
	--token $worker_token \
	--listen-addr $(docker-machine ip worker$node) \
	--advertise-addr $(docker-machine ip worker$node) \
	$(docker-machine ip manager1):2377"
done

# show members of swarm
docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker node ls"

That last line will show you a list of all the nodes, something like this:

ID                           HOSTNAME  STATUS  AVAILABILITY  MANAGER STATUS
3cq6idpysa53n6a21nqe0924h    manager3  Ready   Active        Reachable
64swze471iu5silg83ls0bdip *  manager1  Ready   Active        Leader
7eljvvg0icxlw20od5f51oq8t    manager2  Ready   Active        Reachable
8awcmkj3sd9nv1pi77i6mdb1i    worker1   Ready   Active        
avu80ol573rzepx8ov80ygzxz    worker2   Ready   Active        
bxn1iivy8w7faeugpep76w50j    worker3   Ready   Active        

You can also find all your machines by running

$ docker-machine ls
NAME       ACTIVE   DRIVER       STATE     URL                         SWARM   DOCKER      ERRORS
manager1   -        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.100:2376           v17.03.0-ce   
manager2   -        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.101:2376           v17.03.0-ce 
manager3   -        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.102:2376           v17.03.0-ce
worker1    -        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.103:2376           v17.03.0-ce
worker2    -        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.104:2376           v17.03.0-ce
worker3    -        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.105:2376           v17.03.0-ce

The next step is to create a service and list out the services. This creates a single service called web that runs the latest nginx:

$ docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker service create -p 80:80 --name web nginx:latest"
$ docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker service ls"
ID            NAME  REPLICAS  IMAGE         COMMAND
2x4jsk6313az  web   1/1       nginx:latest  

Now open the machine's IP address in your browser. You can see above manager1 had an IP address of 192.168.99.100 nginx in Chrome at 192.168.99.100

You can actually load any of the node ip addresses and get the same result because of Swarm Mode's Routing Mesh. nginx in Chrome at 192.168.99.100

Next let's inspect the service

$ docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker service inspect web"

        }
    }
]

That's lots of info! Now, let's scale the service:

$ docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker service scale web=15"
web scaled to 15
$ docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker service ls"
ID            NAME  REPLICAS  IMAGE         COMMAND
2x4jsk6313az  web   15/15     nginx:latest  

Docker has spread the 15 services evenly over all of the nodes

$ docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker service ps web"
ID                         NAME    IMAGE         NODE      DESIRED STATE  CURRENT STATE           ERROR

You can also drain a particular node, that is remove all services from that node. The services will automatically be rescheduled on other nodes.

$ docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker node update --availability drain worker1"
worker1
$ docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker service ps web"
ID                         NAME        IMAGE         NODE      DESIRED STATE  CURRENT STATE           ERROR

You can check out the nodes and see that worker1 is still active but drained.

$ docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker node ls"
ID                           HOSTNAME  STATUS  AVAILABILITY  MANAGER STATUS

bxn1iivy8w7faeugpep76w50j    worker3   Ready   Active

You can also scale down the service

$ docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker service scale web=10"
web scaled to 10
$ docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker service ps web"
ID                         NAME        IMAGE         NODE      DESIRED STATE  CURRENT STATE            ERROR

Now bring worker1 back online and show it's new availability

$ docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker node update --availability active worker1"
worker1
$ docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker node inspect worker1 --pretty"

Now let's take the manager1 node, the leader, out of the Swarm

$ docker-machine ssh manager1 "docker swarm leave --force"
Node left the swarm.

Wait about 30 seconds just to be sure. The Swarm still functions, but must elect a new leader. This happens automatically.

$ docker-machine ssh manager2 "docker node ls"
ID                           HOSTNAME  STATUS  AVAILABILITY  MANAGER STATUS
3cq6idpysa53n6a21nqe0924h    manager3  Ready   Active        Reachable
64swze471iu5silg83ls0bdip    manager1  Down    Active        Unreachable
7eljvvg0icxlw20od5f51oq8t *  manager2  Ready   Active        Leader
8awcmkj3sd9nv1pi77i6mdb1i    worker1   Ready   Active        
avu80ol573rzepx8ov80ygzxz    worker2   Ready   Active        
bxn1iivy8w7faeugpep76w50j    worker3   Ready   Active

You see that manager1 is Down and Unreachable and manager2 has been elected leader. It's also easy to remove a service:

$ docker-machine ssh manager2 "docker service rm web"
web

Cleanup

There's also a bash script that will clean up your machine by removing all the Docker Machines.

$ ./swarm-node-vbox-teardown.sh
Stopping "manager3"...

Stopping "manager1"...
