docker_swarm – Manage Swarm cluster
New in version 2.7.
Synopsis
- Create a new Swarm cluster.
- Add/Remove nodes or managers to an existing cluster.
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- Docker API >= 1.25
- Docker SDK for Python: Please note that the docker-py Python module has been superseded by docker (see here for details). For Python 2.6,
docker-py
must be used. Otherwise, it is recommended to install thedocker
Python module. Note that both modules should not be installed at the same time. Also note that when both modules are installed and one of them is uninstalled, the other might no longer function and a reinstall of it is required. - Docker SDK for Python >= 1.10.0 (use docker-py for Python 2.6)
Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
---|---|---|
advertise_addr string | Externally reachable address advertised to other nodes. This can either be an address/port combination in the form 192.168.1.1:4567 , or an interface followed by a port number, like eth0:4567 .If the port number is omitted, the port number from the listen address is used. If advertise_addr is not specified, it will be automatically detected when possible. Only used when swarm is initialised or joined. Because of this it's not considered for idempotency checking. | |
api_version string | Default: "auto" | The version of the Docker API running on the Docker Host. Defaults to the latest version of the API supported by Docker SDK for Python and the docker daemon. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_API_VERSION will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.aliases: docker_api_version |
autolock_managers boolean |
| If set, generate a key and use it to lock data stored on the managers. Docker default value is no .
docker_swarm_info can be used to retrieve the unlock key. |
ca_cert path | Use a CA certificate when performing server verification by providing the path to a CA certificate file. If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH is set, the file ca.pem from the directory specified in the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH will be used.aliases: tls_ca_cert, cacert_path | |
ca_force_rotate integer | An integer whose purpose is to force swarm to generate a new signing CA certificate and key, if none have been specified. Docker default value is 0 .Requires API version >= 1.30. | |
client_cert path | Path to the client's TLS certificate file. If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH is set, the file cert.pem from the directory specified in the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH will be used.aliases: tls_client_cert, cert_path | |
client_key path | Path to the client's TLS key file. If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH is set, the file key.pem from the directory specified in the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH will be used.aliases: tls_client_key, key_path | |
debug boolean |
| Debug mode |
default_addr_pool list added in 2.8 | Default address pool in CIDR format. Only used when swarm is initialised. Because of this it's not considered for idempotency checking. Requires API version >= 1.39. | |
dispatcher_heartbeat_period integer | The delay for an agent to send a heartbeat to the dispatcher. Docker default value is 5s . | |
docker_host string | Default: "unix://var/run/docker.sock" | The URL or Unix socket path used to connect to the Docker API. To connect to a remote host, provide the TCP connection string. For example, tcp://192.0.2.23:2376 . If TLS is used to encrypt the connection, the module will automatically replace tcp in the connection URL with https .If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_HOST will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.aliases: docker_url |
election_tick integer | Amount of ticks (in seconds) needed without a leader to trigger a new election. Docker default value is 10s . | |
force boolean |
| Use with state present to force creating a new Swarm, even if already part of one.Use with state absent to Leave the swarm even if this node is a manager. |
heartbeat_tick integer | Amount of ticks (in seconds) between each heartbeat. Docker default value is 1s . | |
join_token string | Swarm token used to join a swarm cluster. Used with state=join. | |
keep_old_snapshots integer | Number of snapshots to keep beyond the current snapshot. Docker default value is 0 . | |
labels dictionary | User-defined key/value metadata. Label operations in this module apply to the docker swarm cluster. Use docker_node module to add/modify/remove swarm node labels. Requires API version >= 1.32. | |
listen_addr string | Default: "0.0.0.0:2377" | Listen address used for inter-manager communication. This can either be an address/port combination in the form 192.168.1.1:4567 , or an interface followed by a port number, like eth0:4567 .If the port number is omitted, the default swarm listening port is used. Only used when swarm is initialised or joined. Because of this it's not considered for idempotency checking. |
log_entries_for_slow_followers integer | Number of log entries to keep around to sync up slow followers after a snapshot is created. | |
name string | The name of the swarm. | |
node_cert_expiry integer | Automatic expiry for nodes certificates. Docker default value is 3months . | |
node_id string | Swarm id of the node to remove. Used with state=remove. | |
remote_addrs list | Remote address of one or more manager nodes of an existing Swarm to connect to. Used with state=join. | |
rotate_manager_token boolean |
| Rotate the manager join token. |
rotate_worker_token boolean |
| Rotate the worker join token. |
signing_ca_cert string | The desired signing CA certificate for all swarm node TLS leaf certificates, in PEM format. This must not be a path to a certificate, but the contents of the certificate. Requires API version >= 1.30. | |
signing_ca_key string | The desired signing CA key for all swarm node TLS leaf certificates, in PEM format. This must not be a path to a key, but the contents of the key. Requires API version >= 1.30. | |
snapshot_interval integer | Number of logs entries between snapshot. Docker default value is 10000 . | |

state string / required |
| Set to present , to create/update a new cluster.Set to join , to join an existing cluster.Set to absent , to leave an existing cluster.Set to remove , to remove an absent node from the cluster. Note that removing requires Docker SDK for Python >= 2.4.0.Set to inspect to display swarm informations. |
subnet_size integer added in 2.8 | Default address pool subnet mask length. Only used when swarm is initialised. Because of this it's not considered for idempotency checking. Requires API version >= 1.39. | |
task_history_retention_limit integer | Maximum number of tasks history stored. Docker default value is 5 . | |
timeout integer | Default: 60 | The maximum amount of time in seconds to wait on a response from the API. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_TIMEOUT will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used. |
tls boolean |
| Secure the connection to the API by using TLS without verifying the authenticity of the Docker host server. Note that if validate_certs is set to yes as well, it will take precedence.If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_TLS will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used. |

Notes
Note
- Connect to the Docker daemon by providing parameters with each task or by defining environment variables. You can define
DOCKER_HOST
,DOCKER_TLS_HOSTNAME
,DOCKER_API_VERSION
,DOCKER_CERT_PATH
,DOCKER_SSL_VERSION
,DOCKER_TLS
,DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY
andDOCKER_TIMEOUT
. If you are using docker machine, run the script shipped with the product that sets up the environment. It will set these variables for you. See https://docker-py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/machine/ for more details. - When connecting to Docker daemon with TLS, you might need to install additional Python packages. For the Docker SDK for Python, version 2.4 or newer, this can be done by installing
docker[tls]
with pip. - Note that the Docker SDK for Python only allows to specify the path to the Docker configuration for very few functions. In general, it will use
$HOME/.docker/config.json
if theDOCKER_CONFIG
environment variable is not specified, and use$DOCKER_CONFIG/config.json
otherwise.
