How to Install Docker Swarm on EndeavourOS Latest

Docker Swarm is a tool that allows you to orchestrate and manage a cluster of Docker nodes. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Docker Swarm on the EndeavourOS Latest operating system.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you'll need:

• A computer running EndeavourOS Latest
• A user account with sudo privileges
• Docker and Docker Compose installed

Step 1: Install Docker Swarm

1. Open a terminal window.
2. Install Docker Swarm with the following command:

sudo docker swarm init

3. This command will create a new Swarm with a single manager node. You will also receive a command to join worker nodes to the Swarm later.

Step 2: Verify the Installation

1. To verify that Docker Swarm is installed and working correctly, run the following command:

sudo docker node ls

2. This command will display a list of nodes in the Swarm. Since we only set up one manager node, you should see only one node in the list.

Step 3: Join Worker Nodes

1. To add worker nodes to the Swarm, you'll need a Swarm join token. To get one, run the following command on the manager node:

sudo docker swarm join-token worker

2. This command will display a token that you can use to join worker nodes to the Swarm.

3. On the worker nodes, run the following command to join the Swarm:

sudo docker swarm join --token <token> <manager-node-ip>:<port>

4. Replace <token> with the token that you received in the previous step, and <manager-node-ip> and <port> with the IP address and port of the manager node.

5. Verify that the worker nodes have been added to the Swarm by running the following command on the manager node:

sudo docker node ls

6. You should now see the worker nodes listed alongside the manager node.

Step 4: Deploy Services

1. To deploy services to the Swarm, you'll need a Docker Compose file that defines the services you want to run.

2. Save the Docker Compose file to your local disk.

3. Run the following command to deploy the services to the Swarm:

sudo docker stack deploy --compose-file <path/to/docker-compose-file> <stack-name>

4. Replace <path/to/docker-compose-file> with the path to the Docker Compose file, and <stack-name> with a name for the stack.

5. Verify that the services have been deployed to the Swarm by running the following command:

sudo docker stack ls

6. This command will display a list of stacks running in the Swarm. You should see the stack you just deployed listed here.

Congratulations, you've successfully installed Docker Swarm on EndeavourOS Latest! You can now use Swarm to orchestrate and manage your Docker containers across multiple nodes.

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!
