In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing Docker Swarm on the latest version of FreeBSD.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to install Docker on your FreeBSD machine. To do that, run the following command:
sudo pkg install docker
Once the installation is complete, start the Docker service using the following command:
sudo service docker start
In this step, we will configure the Docker Swarm. To do that, run the following command:
sudo docker swarm init
This will create a new Docker Swarm cluster with the current machine as the manager node.
In case you have additional machines that you want to add to the Docker Swarm as worker nodes, use the following command on the worker machines:
sudo docker swarm join --token <TOKEN> <IP_ADDRESS>:<PORT>
Replace <TOKEN> with the token generated during step 2 and <IP_ADDRESS>:<PORT> with the IP address and port of the manager node.
After setting up the Docker Swarm, you can verify the status of the cluster using the following command:
sudo docker node ls
This will display the list of nodes connected to the Swarm cluster.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Docker Swarm on FreeBSD. With this, you can create a cluster and deploy your applications in a distributed environment.
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!
