# Swarm cluster

This section explains how to create a multi-host [swarm](https://docs.docker.com/swarm) cluster using [docker-machine](https://docs.docker.com/machine/) and how to deploy Træfɪk on it.
The cluster will be made of:

- 2 servers
- 1 swarm master
- 2 swarm nodes
- 1 [overlay](https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/networking/dockernetworks/#an-overlay-network) network (multi-host networking)

## Prerequisites

1. You will need to install [docker-machine](https://docs.docker.com/machine/)
2. You will need the latest [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads)

## Cluster provisioning

We will first follow [this guide](https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/networking/get-started-overlay/) to create the cluster.

### Create machine `mh-keystore`

This machine will be the service registry of our cluster.

```sh
docker-machine create -d virtualbox mh-keystore
```

Then we install the service registry [Consul](https://consul.io) on this machine:

```sh
eval "$(docker-machine env mh-keystore)"
docker run -d \
    -p "8500:8500" \
    -h "consul" \
    progrium/consul -server -bootstrap
```

### Create machine `mhs-demo0`

This machine will have a swarm master and a swarm agent on it.

```sh
docker-machine create -d virtualbox \
    --swarm --swarm-master \
    --swarm-discovery="consul://$(docker-machine ip mh-keystore):8500" \
    --engine-opt="cluster-store=consul://$(docker-machine ip mh-keystore):8500" \
    --engine-opt="cluster-advertise=eth1:2376" \
    mhs-demo0
```

### Create machine `mhs-demo1`

This machine will have a swarm agent on it.

```sh
docker-machine create -d virtualbox \
    --swarm \
    --swarm-discovery="consul://$(docker-machine ip mh-keystore):8500" \
    --engine-opt="cluster-store=consul://$(docker-machine ip mh-keystore):8500" \
    --engine-opt="cluster-advertise=eth1:2376" \
    mhs-demo1
```

### Create the overlay Network

Create the overlay network on the swarm master:

```sh
eval $(docker-machine env --swarm mhs-demo0)
docker network create --driver overlay --subnet=10.0.9.0/24 my-net
```

## Deploy Træfɪk

Deploy Træfɪk:

```sh
docker $(docker-machine config mhs-demo0) run \
    -d \
    -p 80:80 -p 8080:8080 \
    --net=my-net \
    -v /var/lib/boot2docker/:/ssl \
    traefik \
    -l DEBUG \
    -c /dev/null \
    --docker \
    --docker.domain traefik \
    --docker.endpoint tcp://$(docker-machine ip mhs-demo0):3376 \
    --docker.tls \
    --docker.tls.ca /ssl/ca.pem \
    --docker.tls.cert /ssl/server.pem \
    --docker.tls.key /ssl/server-key.pem \
    --docker.tls.insecureSkipVerify \
    --docker.watch  \
    --web
```

Let's explain this command:

- `-p 80:80 -p 8080:8080`: we bind ports 80 and 8080
- `--net=my-net`: run the container on the network my-net
- `-v /var/lib/boot2docker/:/ssl`: mount the ssl keys generated by docker-machine
- `-c /dev/null`: empty config file
- `--docker`: enable docker backend
- `--docker.endpoint tcp://172.18.0.1:3376`: connect to the swarm master using the docker_gwbridge network
- `--docker.tls`: enable TLS using the docker-machine keys
- `--web`: activate the webUI on port 8080

## Deploy your apps

We can now deploy our app on the cluster, here [whoami](https://github.com/emilevauge/whoami), a simple web server in GO, on the network `my-net`:

```sh
eval $(docker-machine env --swarm mhs-demo0)
docker run -d --name=whoami0 --net=my-net --env="constraint:node==mhs-demo0" emilevauge/whoami
docker run -d --name=whoami1 --net=my-net --env="constraint:node==mhs-demo1" emilevauge/whoami
```

Check that everything is started:

```sh
docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                                      NAMES

8147a7746e7a        emilevauge/whoami   "/whoamI"                19 seconds ago      Up 20 seconds       80/tcp                                                     mhs-demo0/whoami0
8fbc39271b4c        traefik             "/traefik -l DEBUG -c"   36 seconds ago      Up 37 seconds       192.168.99.101:80->80/tcp, 192.168.99.101:8080->8080/tcp   mhs-demo0/serene_bhabha
```
