🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

docker swarm join [OPTIONS] HOST:PORT

that's it, that's the whole vibe. you point it at a HOST:PORT and you're in. no cap.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Join a swarm as a node and/or manager.

literally the entire plot. you show up, you hand over your token, you become part of the swarm. node or manager, dealer's choice, both are valid, both slay. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --advertise-addr="" — the Advertised address, format is "[:port]". this is the address you're telling everybody else to reach you at. ngl, very much a "this is my card, call me" moment. 📇
• --availability="active" — Availability of the node. your three flavors are "active", "pause", and "drain". default is "active" because obviously, we show up ready. 🌈
• --data-path-addr="" — Address or interface to use for data path traffic (format: ""). yes, the format is literally empty quotes in the manpage, i'm not making this up, i'm just the messenger. 🙈
• --listen-addr=0.0.0.0:2377 — Listen address, format is "[:port]". default is 0.0.0.0:2377 so she's listening on everything, port 2377, the standard swarm port. periodt. 👑
• --token="" — Token for entry into the swarm. no token, no entry. it's giving velvet rope. 🔥
