Basic docker service commands

Swarm is Docker’s in built containers orches​trator solution, its main docker service create --replicas create docker service directly
purpose is to manage containers in a computer cluster, i.e. a set of 5 -p 80:80 --name web nginx (similar to docker run command)

anything to get started. etails etc
In Docker, there are many layers of encaps​ula​tion: the OS kernel, docker service ls list all the services
contai​ners, tasks that encaps​ulate containers as units of work,
docker service ps [OPTIONS] List the tasks of one or more
services or Pods that represent applic​ation compon​ents, and stacks​‐
SERVICE [SERVI​CE...] services
(co​lle​ction of services) that represent full applic​ations.
docker service rm SERVICE Remove one or more services

Common Terms/Key concepts Swarm service diagram

Node is a physical or virtual machine (running an instance of

the Docker Engine.)
Manager perform swarm management and orches​tration duties. By
nodes default manager nodes are also worker nodes.
Worker execute tasks.
nodes
Cluster one or more nodes grouped together.
Swarm is a type of cluster in docker termin​ology.
Docker (not part of docker engine)is a separate product which
Swarm you can use to cluster multiple Docker hosts. Prior to Applic​ation
Docker version 1.12 it was the only native Docker option
for clustering hosts, and it needed a lot of additional
setup for distri​buted state, service discovery and security.
Swarm With Docker 1.12,(is built into Docker Engine) To run a
Mode cluster you just need to install Docker on multiple
machines, run docker swarm init to switch to Swarm
Mode and docker swarm join to add more nodes to the
cluster. State, discovery and security are all included with
zero setup. similar commands
Stack is a collection of services that make up an applic​ation in a Init host as a swarm manager node :
specific enviro​nment. docker swarm init
service it defines the blueprint about which image to use and Deploy applic​ation:
which commands to execut​e,p​ort​s,n​etw​ork​s,r​epl​ica​s,etc docker stack deploy -c docker​-co​mpo​se.yml myApp
inside future running contai​ners. List services:

ner.When service is created the swarm manager starts a docker stack services myApp
task(or its replicas) inside various contai​ners. List tasks:
docker service ps myApp_web
docker container ls -q
docker stack ps myApp
Stop applic​ation
:
docker stack rm myApp
Take down swarm
docker swarm leave --force
