# Docker Swarm ## Description [Docker Swarm](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/) is Docker's built-in clustering and container-orchestration mode. It groups multiple Docker hosts into a single virtual host that can schedule services, replicate tasks, and route traffic via an internal mesh. ## Overview This role bootstraps and manages a Docker Swarm cluster across the hosts in the Ansible group `svc-swarm-node`. The manager is the single host in `svc-swarm-manager`; every other group member joins as a worker. Membership is expressed via group membership only, never via duplicated lists in `group_vars`. Inventory node labels are pushed to the cluster after the join phase. ## Cosmos The diagram places Docker Swarm in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks). ```mermaid flowchart LR subgraph role [svc-swarm-node 💻] svc_node["node"] end subgraph dependents [Dependents] dpt_svc_registry_cache["svc-registry-cache 🐳"] dpt_svc_registry_docker["svc-registry-docker 🐳"] dpt_svc_swarm_manager["svc-swarm-manager 💻"] end svc_node -- "1:1" --> dpt_svc_registry_cache svc_node -- "1:1" --> dpt_svc_registry_docker svc_node -.

Node markers show the role's deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in `meta/main.yml`. ## Features - **Single-manager bootstrap:** Initialises the cluster on the manager with the configured advertise address; idempotent on re-runs. - **Auto-derived workers:** `svc-swarm-node - svc-swarm-manager` yields the worker set; no separate `worker_nodes` list to drift. - **Token publishing:** Manager-fetched worker/manager join tokens are published as facts to every cluster member. - **Node labels:** Per-host labels declared via `swarm_node_labels` in inventory are applied to the joining node. - **Mode-selection trigger:** Membership in `svc-swarm-node` resolves `DEPLOYMENT_MODE = swarm` for every web-app role on that host. - **Ingress guard:** An nftables table drops packets from outside the cluster to every routing-mesh port no application declares under `ports.public`. Loopback, the Docker bridges and the swarm nodes' own addresses stay admitted. The table is loaded before a node joins and reloaded on every node after the join and after each stack deploy. ## Quick Setup ### Development Clone, set up the workstation, and deploy Docker Swarm onto the local stack: ```bash git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git cd core make onboard make compose-deploy mode=reinstall apps=svc-swarm-node full_cycle=false ``` ### Production Install Docker Swarm directly onto the target machine: clone the repository, install the OS prerequisites and the repository toolchain, then deploy against localhost over a local connection (no SSH, no container): ```bash git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git cd core bash scripts/install/package.sh make install source scripts/meta/env/load.sh APP=svc-swarm-node DOMAIN= TLS_MODE=self_signed SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="" INVENTORY=inventories/production infinito administration inventory provision "$INVENTORY" \ --inventory-file "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \ --host localhost \ --include "$APP" \ --vars "{\"TLS_MODE\": \"$TLS_MODE\", \"DOMAIN_PRIMARY\": \"$DOMAIN\", \"users\": {\"administrator\": {\"authorized_keys\": [\"$SSH_PUBLIC_KEY\"]}}}" infinito administration deploy dedicated "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \ --password-file "$INVENTORY/.password" \ --diff -vv ``` ## Credits Implemented by **[Kevin Veen-Birkenbach](https://www.veen.world)**.
