Summary

This repository contains different implementation approaches how to deploy docker-swarm to various environments respectively cloud-providers, using different tooling.

All implementation scenarios follow the "voting-app" example Docker has provided: https://docs.docker.com/engine/getstarted-voting-app/

All scenarios are created in a generic, re-usable way. Switching from deploying the voting-app to your services, should be pretty easy and straightforward.

Caution: I am by no means an expert in this area. Working on the different scenarios primarily helped me to test the different approaches as a novice in this area. Therefore any contribution, comment or PR is highly welcome.

Scenarios

Fully working

• Local deployment to VirtualBox using bash only (./local-bash)
• Local deployment to VirtualBox using Vagrant only (./local-vagrant)

In progress

• Deployment to DigitalOcean using Packer & Terraform (./do-packer-terraform)

Investigating

• Local deployment using the Docker-in-docker (DinD) approach
• Deployment to DigitalOcean using bash only
• Deployment to DigitalOcean using Vagrant & bash
• Using rancher to deploy locally (?)
• Using rancher to deploy to DigitalOcean
• Deployment to AWS using Vagrant only

Omitted

• ~~Local deployment to VirtualBox using Vagrant/Ansible (./local-vagrant-ansible)~~
• ~~Deployment to DigitalOcean using Vagrant only (./do-vagrant)~~
• ~~Deployment to DigitalOcean using Vagrant/Ansible (./do-vagrant-ansible)~~

The scenarios above were started, but discontinued for various reasons.

Note: Scenarios not being linked to a solution are not started, finished, or just do not work, yet.

Install

Clone the GitHub repository , install the required tools and enjoy:

$ git clone https://github.com/stefanwalther/deploy-docker-swarm

Tools being used

Different tools have been used in the different scenarios, which also allows to compare the different approaches:

• VirtualBox
  • Guest Additions for VirtualBox
• Docker for Mac / Docker for Windows
• Vagrant
• Ansible
• Terraform

Have a look at the README of the corresponding scenario to understand which of the tools are needed.
