Part 4: Docker Machine, Swarm Introduction and implementation

1. Introduction
Docker Swarm is an Orchestration tool(like kubernetes, or Apache Mesos.) to automate the administration of docker machines which in turn consists of containers & images.

Docker Machine:- Sets up a VM using Oracle VirtualBox driver with lightweight system and binaries, and can be managed through docker-machine command, and each docker machine can contain several containers or images to build up a redundancy stack.

2. Pre-requisites:
Docker 1.13 or higher
Docker Machine (which is already installed with Docker for Windows/Mac)

$ docker --version
Docker version 18.09.0, build 4d60db4

$ docker-machine --version
docker-machine version 0.16.0, build 702c267f

If docker machine is not installed, please go ahead and install it from: https://docs.docker.com/machine/install-machine/

3. Create Docker Machine: Manager First

$ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox firstmanager

On windows, hyperv driver is used instead of virtualbox in general. Hence the command syntax will be $ docker-machine --driver hyperv create firstmanager
$ docker-machine ls NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM DOCKER ERRORS firstmanager - virtualbox Running tcp://192.168.99.100:2376 v18.09.0 $ docker-machine env firstmanager export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY="1" export DOCKER_HOST="tcp://192.168.99.100:2376" export DOCKER_CERT_PATH="/Users/saket/.docker/machine/machines/firstmanager" export DOCKER_MACHINE_NAME="firstmanager" # Run this command to configure your shell: # eval $(docker-machine env firstmanager) $ eval $(docker-machine env firstmanager) $ $ docker-machine ip firstmanager 192.168.99.100 $ docker-machine ssh firstmanager ( '>') /) TC (\ Core is distributed with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

5. Initialize Docker Swarm Manager

$ docker-machine ssh firstmanager
   ( '>')
  /) TC (\   Core is distributed with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
 (/-_--_-\)           www.tinycorelinux.net


    
docker@firstmanager:~$ docker swarm 
ca          init        join        join-token  leave       unlock      unlock-key  update    

  
docker@firstmanager:~$ docker swarm init --advertise-addr 192.168.99.100
Swarm initialized: current node (hovtav35t9iy126sr3i4cph0d) is now a manager.

To add a worker to this swarm, run the following command:

    docker swarm join --token SWMTKN-1-66lucqcy4fc33edg4tgwqym2e4ba9kob25qn841wuwvq5exgij-egs6ptn42bmywm2y3flwr9fju 192.168.99.100:2377

To add a manager to this swarm, run 'docker swarm join-token manager' and follow the instructions.
docker@firstmanager:~$ 

docker@firstmanager:~$ docker node ls
ID                            HOSTNAME            STATUS              AVAILABILITY        MANAGER STATUS      ENGINE VERSION

8. Check which service to deploy in docker swarm from hub.docker.com.

For example:- I am deploying nginx server.



9. Create nginx service 3 replicas.

docker@firstmanager:~$ docker service create --replicas 3 -p 80:80 --name webserver nginx
waipleiz63xxkokaoflm7o5l7
overall progress: 3 out of 3 tasks 
1/3: running   
2/3: running   
3/3: running   
verify: Service converged 
docker@firstmanager:~$ 

docker@firstmanager:~$ docker service ls
ID                  NAME                MODE                REPLICAS            IMAGE               PORTS
waipleiz63xx        webserver           replicated          3/3                 nginx:latest        *:80->80/tcp

docker@firstmanager:~$ docker service ps webserver
ID                  NAME                IMAGE               NODE                DESIRED STATE       CURRENT STATE            ERROR               PORTS
qk9dxcpe856w        webserver.1         nginx:latest        firstmanager        Running             Running 13 seconds ago                       
uji9lri8t2u1        webserver.2         nginx:latest        worker1             Running             Running 14 seconds ago                       
1itqowxe6pko        webserver.3         nginx:latest        worker2             Running             Running 12 seconds ago                       
docker@firstmanager:~$ 



10. Verify the server status.

We can see below that nginx service is running on all the deployed hosts.







1. Scaling Service
To scale the service and reduce/increase its replicas we can use below commands:
$ docker service scale webserver=2  (create 2 replicas)
or,
$ docker service scale webserver=5  (create 5 replicas)

2. Updating Service
And to update the deployed service to a specific version, we can use below:
$ docker service update --image nginx:1.15.0 webserver1

3. Removal of Service/Node
Run below commands on node, say worker1:
### To remove the service
$ docker service rm webserver1

### To leave from swarm
$ docker swarm leave
