Docker swarm sample with NodeJS app on Hyper-V

2 min readApr 7, 2018

Clone Sample Repository

git clone https://github.com/wswijaya/docker-swarm-node-app.git

2. Build Docker Image and push to Docker Hub

docker build -t /node-app-sample .
docker push /node-app-sample

3. Create VMs

docker-machine create -d hyperv — hyperv-virtual-switch “myswitch” myvm3
docker-machine create -d hyperv — hyperv-virtual-switch “myswitch” myvm2
docker-machine create -d hyperv — hyperv-virtual-switch “myswitch” myvm3
docker-machine create -d hyperv — hyperv-virtual-switch “myswitch” myvm4

4. Create Docker Swarm and set VM1, VM3, and VM4 as manager

docker-machine ssh myvm1 “docker swarm init”
docker-machine ssh myvm1 “docker swarm join-token manager”
docker-machine ssh myvm3 “docker swarm join — token :”
docker-machine ssh myvm4 “docker swarm join — token :”
docker-machine ssh myvm1 “docker swarm join-token worker”
docker-machine ssh myvm2 “docker swarm join — token :”

5. Deploy Services

docker-machine scp docker-compose-node-app.yml myvm1:~
docker-machine ssh myvm1 “docker stack deploy -c docker-compose-node-app.yml nodeapplab”
docker-machine ssh myvm1 “docker stack ps nodeapplab”

6. Test Site

Node Web App: http://:4000 or http://:4000/api
Docker Visualizer: http://:9090

7. Remove Services

docker-machine ssh myvm1 “docker stack rm nodeapplab”

8. Remove Docker Swarm

docker-machine ssh myvm1 “docker stack rm nodeapplab”
docker-machine ssh myvm2 “docker swarm leave”
docker-machine ssh myvm3 “docker swarm leave — force”
docker-machine ssh myvm4 “docker swarm leave — force”
docker-machine ssh myvm1 “docker swarm leave — force”
