This example show how-to setup a very simple Swarm cluster enabled with Weave Net.
## Infratructure
There are two hosts that have a recent version of Docker Engine running.
These hosts are named host1 and host2, and might have the following in
/etc/hosts or you just substitute IP addresses in the commands shown below.
192.168.131.139 host1
192.168.131.140 host2
To install Weave Net run the following commands on each of the hosts
sudo curl --silent --location git.io/weave --output /usr/local/bin/weave
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/weave
Now start the router on each of the host with
weave luanch-router host1 host2
Proxy needs to be launched with the following arguments
weave launch-proxy -H 0.0.0.0:12375 --no-detect-tls
You can omit
--no-detect-tls, but in that case you might wish to omit all of the arugments. If so, you will need to ensure that TLS keys are in all the right places.
Swarm manager can run very simply like this agains two of the host that run Weave Net and the Docker API proxy is listening on port 12375:
docker run -d -p 2377:2375 swarm manage nodes://host1:12375,host2:12375
If you would like to use a different discovery mechanism, you can do this but then you will need run Swarm agents on each of the hosts and ensure that those are pointed at the address the proxy is listening on. This would typically mean
swarm join --addr <ip>:12375 <discovery>.
Let's start 20 containers via Swarm, on the same host the manager is running.
for i in $(seq 20)
do docker -H 127.0.0.1:2377 run -td --name="pingme-${i}" --hostname="pingme.weave.local" centos:7
done
Check weave status dns and you will see there are 20 entries now. You can also
do a lookup with weave dns-lookup pingme a few times and see that shuffled IPs
are being returned each time.
Next, let's run the ping test like this:
$ docker -H 127.0.0.1:2377 run -ti centos:7

Now, just to convince yourself, run docker -H 127.0.0.1:2377 ps to check that all
of these 20 containers are on different hosts.
