Docker Swarm is a clustering and orchestration tool for Docker containers. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Docker Swarm on Kali Linux Latest.
Ensure that the system is up-to-date before installing any new software packages in Kali Linux. To do this, run the following commands in the terminal:
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Before installing Docker Swarm, you need to install Docker engine on your system. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install docker.io -y
After successfully installing Docker, you can verify the installation by running the following command:
sudo docker version
To create a Swarm, you need to have multiple nodes. In this tutorial, we will create a single-node Swarm for testing purposes. To create a Swarm, run the following command:
sudo docker swarm init
This will create a Swarm and generate a token. You will need the token to add other nodes to the Swarm.
To verify the Swarm, run the following command:
sudo docker info
This command will display the Swarm information, such as the number of nodes in the Swarm, the number of services running, and the status of the Swarm.
Once you have created a Swarm, you can deploy a service on it. To deploy a service, run the following command:
sudo docker service create --replicas 1 --name my-web nginx
This command will deploy an nginx container with one replica on the Swarm. To verify the service, run the following command:
sudo docker service ls
This command will display information about the service, such as the number of replicas running and the status of the service.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Docker Swarm on Kali Linux Latest. We also learned how to create a Swarm, verify it, and deploy a service on it. Docker Swarm is a powerful tool for managing Docker containers in a distributed environment. It can be used to manage large-scale container deployments and automate container operations.
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!
