Is it possible to execute commands on a docker swarm cluster hosted in cloud from my local mac? If yes, how?
I want to execute command such as following on docker swarm from my local:
docker create secret my-secret <address to local file>
docker service create --name x --secrets my-secret image
Answer to the question can be found here.
What one needs to do for ubuntu machine is define daemon.json file at path /etc/docker with following content:
{
"hosts": ["tcp://0.0.0.0:2375", "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"]
}
The above configuration is unsecured and shouldn't be used if server is publicly hosted.
For secured connection use following config:
{
"tls": true,
"tlscert": "/var/docker/server.pem",
"tlskey": "/var/docker/serverkey.pem",
"hosts": ["tcp://x.x.x.y:2376", "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"]
}
Details for generating certificate can be found here as mentioned by @BMitch.
