How to Install Docker Swarm on Alpine Linux Latest

Docker Swarm is a tool that allows you to manage a cluster of Docker hosts. In this tutorial, we'll take a look at how to install Docker Swarm on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

A system running Alpine Linux Latest
Docker installed

Step 1: Install Docker Swarm

The first step in installing Docker Swarm is to install the Docker CLI tools.

To do this, run the following command:

$ apk add docker-cli

After the Docker CLI tools are installed, you can install Docker Swarm by running the following command:

$ docker swarm init

This will initialize a new swarm on your Alpine Linux system.

Step 2: Create a Swarm Node

Once you've initialized a new swarm, you'll need to create at least one swarm node.

To create a swarm node, you can run the following command:

$ docker swarm join --token <TOKEN> <ADDRESS>

Replace and

with the appropriate values for your swarm.

Step 3: Verify the Swarm

After creating at least one swarm node, you can verify that the swarm is running by running the following command:

$ docker node ls

This will display a list of all the nodes in your swarm.

Conclusion

That's all there is to it! You now have Docker Swarm installed and running on your Alpine Linux system. You can continue to add new swarm nodes as needed to your cluster.
