It guides you 17 through the following activities: 18 19 * initializing a cluster of Docker Engines called a Swarm 20 * adding nodes to the Swarm 21 * deploying application services to the Swarm 22 * managing the Swarm once you have everything running 23 24 This tutorial uses Docker Engine CLI commands entered on the command line of a 25 terminal window. You should be able to install Docker on networked machines and 26 be comfortable running commands in the shell of your choice. 27 28 If you’re brand new to Docker, see [About Docker Engine](../../index.md). 29 30 ## Set up 31 To run this tutorial, you need the following: 32 33 * [three networked host machines](#three-networked-host-machines) 34 * [Docker Engine 1.12 or later installed](#docker-engine-1-12-or-later) 35 * [the IP address of the manager machine](#the-ip-address-of-the-manager-machine) 36 * [open ports between the hosts](#open-ports-between-the-hosts) 37 38 ### Three networked host machines 39 40 The tutorial uses three networked host machines as nodes in the Swarm. These can 41 be virtual machines on your PC, in a data center, or on a cloud service 42 provider. This tutorial uses the following machine names: 43 44 * manager1 45 * worker1 46 * worker2 47 48 ### Docker Engine 1.12 or later 49 50 You must install Docker Engine on each one of the host machines. To use this 51 version of Swarm, install the Docker Engine `v1.12.0-rc1` or later from the 52 [Docker releases GitHub repository](https://github.com/docker/docker/releases). 53 Alternatively, install the latest Docker for Mac or Docker for Windows Beta. 54 55 Verify that the Docker Engine daemon is running on each of the machines. 56 57 <!-- See the following options to install: 58 59 * [Install Docker Engine](../../installation/index.md). 60 61 * [Example: Manual install on cloud provider](../../installation/cloud/cloud-ex-aws.md). 62 --> 63 64 ### The IP address of the manager machine 65 66 The IP address must be assigned to an a network interface available to the host 67 operating system. All nodes in the Swarm must be able to access the manager at the IP address. 68 69 >**Tip**: You can run `ifconfig` on Linux or Mac OSX to see a list of the 70 available network interfaces. 71 72 The tutorial uses `manager1` : `192.168.99.100`. 73 74 ### Open ports between the hosts 75 76 * **TCP port 2377** for cluster management communications 77 * **TCP** and **UDP port 7946** for communication among nodes 78 * **TCP** and **UDP port 4789** for overlay network traffic 79 80 >**Tip**: Docker recommends that every node in the cluster be on the same layer 81 3 (IP) subnet with all traffic permitted between nodes. 82 83 ## What's next? 84 85 After you have set up your environment, you're ready to [create a Swarm](create-swarm.md). 86 87 <p style="margin-bottom:300px"> </p>
