Once you’ve created a swarm with a manager node, you’re ready to add worker nodes.
Open a terminal and ssh into the machine where you want to run a worker node. This tutorial uses the name worker1
.
Run the command produced by the docker swarm init
output from the Create a swarm tutorial step to create a worker node joined to the existing swarm:
$ docker swarm join \
--token SWMTKN-1-49nj1cmql0jkz5s954yi3oex3nedyz0fb0xx14ie39trti4wxv-8vxv8rssmk743ojnwacrr2e7c \
192.168.99.100:2377
This node joined a swarm as a worker.
If you don’t have the command available, you can run the following command on a manager node to retrieve the join command for a worker:
$ docker swarm join-token worker
To add a worker to this swarm, run the following command:
docker swarm join \
--token SWMTKN-1-49nj1cmql0jkz5s954yi3oex3nedyz0fb0xx14ie39trti4wxv-8vxv8rssmk743ojnwacrr2e7c \
192.168.99.100:2377
Open a terminal and ssh into the machine where you want to run a second worker node. This tutorial uses the name worker2
.
Run the command produced by the docker swarm init
output from the Create a swarm tutorial step to create a second worker node joined to the existing swarm:
$ docker swarm join \
--token SWMTKN-1-49nj1cmql0jkz5s954yi3oex3nedyz0fb0xx14ie39trti4wxv-8vxv8rssmk743ojnwacrr2e7c \
192.168.99.100:2377
This node joined a swarm as a worker.
Open a terminal and ssh into the machine where the manager node runs and run the docker node ls
command to see the worker nodes:
ID HOSTNAME STATUS AVAILABILITY MANAGER STATUS
03g1y59jwfg7cf99w4lt0f662 worker2 Ready Active
9j68exjopxe7wfl6yuxml7a7j worker1 Ready Active
dxn1zf6l61qsb1josjja83ngz * manager1 Ready Active Leader
The MANAGER
column identifies the manager nodes in the swarm. The empty status in this column for worker1
and worker2
identifies them as worker nodes.
Swarm management commands like docker node ls
only work on manager nodes.
Now your swarm consists of a manager and two worker nodes. In the next step of the tutorial, you deploy a service to the swarm.
