Docker Swarm is a tool that allows you to manage a cluster of Docker hosts. In this tutorial, we'll take a look at how to install Docker Swarm on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
The first step in installing Docker Swarm is to install the Docker CLI tools.
To do this, run the following command:
$ apk add docker-cli
After the Docker CLI tools are installed, you can install Docker Swarm by running the following command:
$ docker swarm init
This will initialize a new swarm on your Alpine Linux system.
Once you've initialized a new swarm, you'll need to create at least one swarm node.
To create a swarm node, you can run the following command:
$ docker swarm join --token <TOKEN> <ADDRESS>
Replace
After creating at least one swarm node, you can verify that the swarm is running by running the following command:
$ docker node ls
This will display a list of all the nodes in your swarm.
That's all there is to it! You now have Docker Swarm installed and running on your Alpine Linux system. You can continue to add new swarm nodes as needed to your cluster.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
