Installation

Motivating example

Select the first member of the manager group and have them initiate a swarm.

- hosts: &swarm_initiator manager[0]
  user: root
  vars:
    - domains: example.com
  roles:
    - joellefkowitz.swarmroles.swarm_initiator

Register the first member of the manager group as the swarm_initiator and pass the swarm tokens to the rest of the manager group. Provide a list of images to pull and a docker username if the images require a login for access. An access token can be issued under the environemnt variable name DOCKER_ACCESS_TOKEN.

- hosts: manager
  user: root
  vars:
    - docker_username: joellefkowitz
    - pull_images:
        - joellefkowitz/example:0.1.0_prod

  pre_tasks: &register_swarm_initiator
    - name: Fetch the swarm initiator host
      set_fact:
        swarm_initiator: "{{groups['manager'][0]}}"

  roles:
    - role: joellefkowitz.swarmroles.swarm_manager
      swarm_join_addr: "{{ hostvars[swarm_initiator]['swarm_join_addr'] }}"
      swarm_manager_token: "{{ hostvars[swarm_initiator]['swarm_manager_token'] }}"

Perform the same registration for all members of the worker group.

- hosts: worker
  user: root
  pre_tasks: *register_swarm_initiator
  roles:
    - role: joellefkowitz.swarmroles.swarm_worker
      swarm_join_addr: "{{ hostvars[swarm_initiator]['swarm_join_addr'] }}"
      swarm_worker_token: "{{ hostvars[swarm_initiator]['swarm_worker_token'] }}"

Have a manager deploy the swarm. Copy over the compose file and any environment files required.

- hosts: *swarm_initiator
  user: root
  vars:
    - stack_name: prod
    - compose_file: docker-compose.yml
    - env_files:
        - prod.example.env
  roles:
    - joellefkowitz.swarmroles.stack_deployer
