$ docker swarm init --advertise-addr <local ip>I use Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS for VM's inside of a swarm. When you build your server keep to the naming convention like "swarm" and "swarm1". Install docker on both of the virtual machines. I use the get-docker script for simplicity.
$ ssh <user>@<VM-Machine1> $ sudo passwd <create a root password> $ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y $ curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh $ sudo sh get-docker.sh $ su - <root password> # usermod -aG docker <user> # systemctl restart docker # su - <user> $ docker info <you should get all the docker information back without a permission error> //Issue docker swarm join with your generated token $docker swarm join --token XXXXXX-X-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 192.168.1.8:2377$ docker node ls ID HOSTNAME STATUS AVAILABILITY MANAGER STATUS ENGINE VERSION 23dfq1l3i3ku2vw3huu07y3u9 * alienware Ready Active Leader 0.0.0-20190612010257-8feff36 x4t00cdi7lbepnllvp88lplyj swarm Ready Active 18.09.6 qgngrj1wdxru4xdlpj4zsvwmx swarm1 Ready Active 18.09.6You can use the inspect command two different ways. The most common method is to just add --pretty to get a human readable output.
The other way is to --format the output and filter any field within the JSON output.
$ docker node inspect --format '{{.Status.Addr}}' swarm 192.168.122.175We are going install Portainer to get a visual representation with whats going on within the swarm.
I linked the website because there is way more that you can do with portainer but for this demo its just eye candy to see inside the cluster. After deploying the agent stack check to make sure the services are being replicated across your swarm.

To achieve quorum its best to have an odd number of managers. If you run docker info with an even number of managers you will get a warning.
WARNING: Running Swarm in a two-manager configuration. This configuration provides no fault tolerance, and poses a high risk to lose control over the cluster. Refer to https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/admin_guide/ to configure the Swarm for fault-tolerance.You can bring up your original join token with:
$ docker swarm join-token manager // or use the same command for a worker token $ docker swarm join-token worker // or you can add more workers and promote them to manager with $ docker node promote <node>$ docker node ls ID HOSTNAME STATUS AVAILABILITY MANAGER STATUS ENGINE VERSION 23dfq1l3i3ku2vw3huu07y3u9 * alienware Ready Active Leader 0.0.0-20190612010257-8feff36 x4t00cdi7lbepnllvp88lplyj swarm Ready Active 18.09.6 qgngrj1wdxru4xdlpj4zsvwmx swarm1 Ready Active 18.09.6 m7tm3y98ytoyt0llq67qtvwuo swarm2 Ready Active Reachable 18.09.6 if3cady0iv0mxdwk1b7vtqvxz swarm3 Ready Active Reachable 18.09.6This is before I promoted another worker to manager. 
This next part I got the conf and compose files from a few different repos. The docker-compose.yml file contains all the images to deploy a complete TICK stack. For fun we are going to create a simple dashboard to monitor the clusters data. Here we are going to deploy this as a stack.
$ docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml tick Creating config tick_telegraf-config Creating config tick_kapacitor-config Creating service tick_telegraf Creating service tick_influxdb Creating service tick_chronograf Creating service tick_kapacitorI did learn something new during this process with how docker holds on to config files.
To view your current configs stored use the command docker config ls.
If you decide to make a change to your .conf files you will have to remove the old config file from dockers memory. docker config rm xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Monitor during the build by running the command docker service ls a few times to watch the containers get built.

$ docker stack ls NAME SERVICES ORCHESTRATOR portainer 2 Swarm tick 4 Swarm
http://<any swarm node>:8888 will bring up the chronograf login screen.
Docker will help us out with DNS so change the Connection URL to http://influxdb:8086
I did have an issue with a newer version of InfluxDB where I had to use my master nodes IP to connect to influx through chronograf's dashboard.
I will add more to this section later on with how to properly configure your dashboard with alerts.
Lets have some fun now that we have a dashboard to look at. Increase the number containers for influx, chronograf and kapacitor to 2.

To csetup alerts for slack you will have to bring the service down. docker stack rm tick. In the telegraf.conf file you will need to configure the slack alert handler. https://slack.com/services/new/incoming-webhook Add an incoming web hook for your channel.
[[slack]] enabled = true default = true workspace = "example.slack.com" url = "https://hooks.slack.com/FSDR#$#/%#$U%$#3643/364jkr" channel = "#alerts" username = "kapacitor" global = false For testing puropose I configured somthing I know will alert. Chronograf brings the query into view with a faded alert line so you can see the threshold on where it will trigger the webhook. You can see in the picuture I set it for cpu_usage_idle > 98% and the faded green bar across the graph is used to visualise if an alert will be hit. 
Select the Alert Handlers drop down to slack.
