This tab allows you to create and manage the Docker Swarm across multiple servers.
Field | Description |
Docker server name | The name of the server that runs the docker swarm node. |
Docker server IP | The IP address of the server that runs the docker swarm node. |
Node ID | The ID of the docker swarm node. |
Docker type | The type of a docker swarm configuration. This field is obsolete and will be removed in the future. Single Node Swarm – this is the swarm cluster with a single node. It is mostly used for backward compatibility and testing. This type is not recommended for use. Swarm Cluster – this is the swarm cluster with multiple nodes. This is the preferred docker type. |
Docker swarm node type | The type of a docker swarm node: Manager – this type of node handles cluster management tasks: schedules services execution, maintains swarm mode. You must add a minimum of three manager nodes. By default, a manager node also acts as a worker node. So, you can create a cluster of manager nodes only. Worker – this type of node is intended to execute/run containers only. To add a worker node, you must add at least one manager node first. |
Description | A short description of the docker node. This field is optional. |
The Docker Swarm tab includes the following actions:
Field | Description |
Add | Enables you to add a new docker swarm instance on a specific server. |
Delete | Enables you to delete a docker swarm instance from a specific server. |
Get Swarm Configuration | Enables you to import the currently deployed docker containers to the Configuration server database, so they become available on the Docker Swarm tab. |
Apply Swarm Configuration | Enables you to apply the swarm configuration. |
