Make sure the Docker Engine daemon is started on the host 18 machines. 19 20 1. Open a terminal and ssh into the machine where you want to run your manager 21 node. For example, the tutorial uses a machine named `manager1`. 22 23 2. Run the following command to create a new Swarm: 24 25 ``` 26 docker swarm init --listen-addr <MANAGER-IP>:<PORT> 27 ``` 28 29 In the tutorial, the following command creates a Swarm on the `manager1` machine: 30 31 ``` 32 $ docker swarm init --listen-addr 192.168.99.100:2377 33 34 Swarm initialized: current node (09fm6su6c24qn) is now a manager. 35 ``` 36 37 The `--listen-addr` flag configures the manager node to listen on port 38 `2377`. The other nodes in the Swarm must be able to access the manager at 39 the IP address. 40 41 3. Run `docker info` to view the current state of the Swarm: 42 43 ``` 44 $ docker info 45 46 Containers: 2 47 Running: 0 48 Paused: 0 49 Stopped: 2 50 ...snip... 51 Swarm: 52 NodeID: 09fm6su6c24qn 53 IsManager: YES 54 Managers: 1 55 Nodes: 1 56 ...snip... 57 ``` 58 59 4. Run the `docker node ls` command to view information about nodes: 60 61 ``` 62 $ docker node ls 63 64 ID NAME MEMBERSHIP STATUS AVAILABILITY MANAGER STATUS LEADER 65 09fm6su6c24q * manager1 Accepted Ready Active Reachable Yes 66 67 ``` 68 69 The `*` next to the node id, indicates that you're currently connected on 70 this node. 71 72 Docker Swarm automatically names the node for the machine host name. The 73 tutorial covers other columns in later steps. 74 75 ## What's next? 76 77 In the next section of the tutorial, we'll [add two more nodes](add-nodes.md) to 78 the cluster. 79 80 81 <p style="margin-bottom:300px"> </p>
