I've prepared a Windows version of the whoami service. With this new overlay network we start a simple service. You can list all networks with docker network ls as there are already some others. Now we create a new overlay network with docker network create -driver=overlay sample

You can check if your Docker Swarm is active. docker node lsĪfter all three VM's are up and running, go into the first VM and open a PowerShell terminal. But using linked clones and the well prepared Vagrant basebox it takes only some minutes to have a complete Docker Swarm up and running.

#DOCKER NETWORK MODE WINDOWS 10#
This will spin up three Windows 10 VM's and build the Docker Swarm automatically for you. I also adjusted the memory a little bit to spin up more Hyper-V containers.īut now we are ready to create the Docker Swarm with a simple vagrant up This is like changing the FROM in a Dockerfile. In the Vagrantfile I had to change only the name of the box after config.vm.box to the newly added Vagrant box. Now we use the prepared Vagrant environment and adjust it git clone For the Docker Swarm only a clone will be started for each VM to save time and disk space. So you need this big Vagrant box only once on disk. Vagrant 1.9.1 is able to use linked clones for VMware Fusion, VirtualBox and Hyper-V. In my case I had to add the Vagrant box with vagrant box add windows_10_docker. All the time consuming things should be done in a Packer build to make the final vagrant up a breeze. What we now have is a Windows 10 Insider 15031 VM with the Containers and Hyper-V features activated, Docker 1.13.1 installed and both Microsoft Docker images downloaded. With such a VM, build the final Vagrant box with the windows_10_docker.json Packer template.
#DOCKER NETWORK MODE UPDATE#
Download the ISO file, build a VM with the windows_10_insider.json template and update it to Insider 15031 manually. In this case I only have a semi-automated template. Normally I use Packer with my packer-windows templates available on GitHub to automatically create such Vagrant boxes. You have to switch to the Fast Ring to fetch the latest updates for Insider 15031. The latest ISO file with Windows 10 Insider 15025 is a good starting point. So the hardest part is to build a Windows 10 Insider 15031 VM. I'll re-use this scenario and just replace the underlying Vagrant box. I already have played with Docker Swarm-Mode in December and created a Vagrant environment with some Windows Server 2016 VM's.

The advantage is that you can describe some test scenarios with a Vagrantfile and share it on GitHub. In my case I use Vagrant to spin up Windows VM's locally on my notebook. To test Swarm-Mode with Overlay network you will need some machines running Windows 10 Insider 15031. You can indeed test Swarm-Mode on Windows Server 2016 and Docker 1.13, but only without the Overlay network. So if you need it for Windows Server you have to wait a little longer. Unfortunately there is no equivalent for Windows Server editions. The reason is that the Insider preview is the fastest channel to ship new features. Sure it will make more sense in production running a Docker Swarm on multiple servers. Well you wonder why this feature is available on Windows 10 and not Windows Server 2016. A long awaited feature to use Docker Swarm on Windows, so it's time to test-drive it.
#DOCKER NETWORK MODE DRIVER#
Last Friday I noticed a blog post that Overlay Network Driver with Support for Docker Swarm Mode Now Available to Windows Insiders on Windows 10.
