Before You Begin
Completing this guide will require at least two Linodes located in the same data center. The instructions in this guide were written for Ubuntu 16.04, but other distributions can be used; the Linodes do not need to use the same distribution.
Follow our Setting Up and Securing a Compute Instance guide to update your system. You may also wish to set the timezone, configure your hostname, create a limited user account, and harden SSH access.
Install Docker on each Linode. See our Installing Docker and Deploying a LAMP Stack guide or the Docker installation docs for more information.
root
or with the sudo
prefix. For more information on privileges, see our Users and Groups guide.Scale up the power of Docker by creating a cluster of Docker hosts, called a Docker Swarm. You need one Linode to serve as a Docker Swarm Manager and a few Docker hosts to join the Swarm as Nodes.
In this guide, you’ll set up a Docker Swarm Manager and connect Nodes for a scalable container deployment. This requires multiple Linodes with Docker installed and running in the same data center. They don’t need to be running the same distribution.
Create the Docker Swarm Manager
The Docker Swarm Manager’s purpose is to receive commands on behalf of the cluster and assign containers to nodes. The Swarm Manager uses the Raft Consensus Algorithm to manage Swarm states. The Raft Consensus Algorithm ensures that all manager nodes that are in charge of managing and scheduling tasks in a cluster are storing the same, consistent state. Should a failure occur, a single node assumes the tasks and restores the stable state.
In this guide, we create a single Swarm Manager. If your goal is high-availability, you can create multiple managers.
Log in to the Linode you’ve chosen for Swarm manager and initialize the manager. Replace
PUBLIC_IP
in this example with your Linode’s public IP address:docker swarm init --advertise-addr PUBLIC_IP
Docker responds with the command necessary for the nodes to join the Swarm:
Use
docker info
to verify that your Swarm is running and active:docker info
Join Nodes to the Manager
In Step 1 of the previous section, The docker swarm init
command outputs instructions on how to join the manager.
docker swarm join --token TOKEN PUBLIC_IP:2377
Where TOKEN
is the long string of characters presented to you when you initialized the Swarm, and PUBLIC_IP
is the public-facing IP address of your Swarm Manager Linode. If you don’t remember the token, run join-token
on the manager to view the information from the swarm init
command:
docker swarm join-token worker
To join the node to the Swarm, run
docker swarm join
from the node. ChangeTOKEN
to the token from Step 1 in the previous section, andPUIBLIC_IP
to the manager’s public IP:docker swarm join --token TOKEN PUBLIC_IP:2377
The output shows that the node has joined the swarm as a worker. You now have a small Docker Swarm cluster, with one manager and one node:
Repeat Step 1 to join as many nodes to the Swarm as needed.
On the manager, use
docker node ls
to view information about the manager and a list of all nodes:docker node ls
Deploy a Service with Docker Swarm
To deploy a service with Docker Swarm, use the manager to prepare a single node, then scale the configuration to match your needs. In this example, you will install NGINX on one node, then scale it to a cluster (swarm) of three nodes.
From the Swarm Manager, use
service create
to deploy a service to a node. Changenginxexample
to whatever you like:docker service create -p 80:80 --name nginxexample nginx
Scale the NGINX service to three nodes:
docker service scale nginxexample=3
Verify that the service has been deployed with
docker ps -a
from any node:docker ps -a
To stop the
nginxexample
service, use theservice remove
command:docker service remove nginxexample
