If the rotation is not completing within a 103 reasonable amount of time, try running 104 `docker node ls --format '{{.ID}} {{.Hostname}} {{.Status}} {{.TLSStatus}}'` to 105 see if any nodes are down or otherwise unable to rotate TLS certificates. 106 107 108 ### `--detach` 109 110 Initiate the root CA rotation, but do not wait for the completion of or display the 111 progress of the rotation. 112 113 ## Related commands 114 115 * [swarm init](swarm_init.md) 116 * [swarm join](swarm_join.md) 117 * [swarm join-token](swarm_join-token.md) 118 * [swarm leave](swarm_leave.md) 119 * [swarm unlock](swarm_unlock.md) 120 * [swarm unlock-key](swarm_unlock-key.md)
