init docker swarm with docker machine: context deadline exceeded

Question

I'm learing Docker machine while encount some problems.
My computer is mac and use Docker for mac. I create 2 vm,vm1& vm2 by docker-machine,and try to init a swarm who has nodes-vm1,vm2 and my mac.My steps are below:
1. create an image called "sprinla/cms:latest" and a docker-compose.yml

version: "3"
services:
  web:
    image: sprinla/cms:latest
    deploy:
      replicas: 1
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    networks:
      - webnet
    command: /data/start.sh
networks:
  webnet:

2.create 2 vms.Here is vm info:

yuxrdeMBP:~ yuxr$ docker-machine ls  
NAME   ACTIVE   DRIVER       STATE     URL                         SWARM   DOCKER        ERRORS  
vm1    -        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.100:2376           v17.12.0-ce  
vm2    -        virtualbox   Running   tcp://192.168.99.101:2376           v17.12.0-ce  

3. init swarm on my mac host:

yuxrdeMBP:~ yuxr$ docker swarm init
Swarm initialized: current node (uf6rg1v91exlwntlskyj8iim7) is now a manager.
To add a worker to this swarm, run the following command:
docker swarm join --token SWMTKN-1-3qb32l84n0s8vl74rj9d6psm7bzdany3piw55ohtrq0q7ly814-c5km5zg3kj9d6vn6vrtt6xxtg 192.168.65.2:2377
To add a manager to this swarm, run 'docker swarm join-token manager' and follow the instructions.

4 join vm1 to swarm,then comes the problem

yuxrdeMBP:~ yuxr$ docker-machine ssh vm1 "docker swarm join --token SWMTKN-1-3qb32l84n0s8vl74rj9d6psm7bzdany3piw55ohtrq0q7ly814-c5km5zg3kj9d6vn6vrtt6xxtg 192.168.65.2:2377"
Error response from daemon: Timeout was reached before node joined. The attempt to join the swarm will continue in the background. Use the "docker info" command to see the current swarm status of your node.
exit status 1

5.cat the docker log :

Why????
mac host has ip, 192.168.99.1 ,vm1 has ip 192.168.99.100,vm2 has ip 192.168.99.101,they are in the same network,why can't vm1 nor vm2 join the mac host's swarm?

ANOTHER QUESTION:if i use vm1 as swarm manager,run "docker swarm join" commad on the mac host,when join as worker,it can join but can't use;when join as manager will has error:

yuxrdeMBP:~ yuxr$ docker swarm join --token SWMTKN-1-49w1hd28hs1mtj3sgmd0o3q7n59zgppvd18vs0iwhcnjemzmwb-7mk35zdnaslt1p41gninvwlud 192.168.99.100:2377
Error response from daemon: manager stopped: can't initialize raft node: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = could not connect to prospective new cluster member using its advertised address: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = grpc: the connection is unavailable

THANK YOU FOR HELP ME !!!

Answer 1

Open port 2377 on the manager node, for ec2 manage it through security groups. Documentation: https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/swarm-tutorial/#open-protocols-and-ports-between-the-hosts

Answer 2

I got the same error when trying to join a swarm cluster as a worker Used 2 VMs from Google cloud for this..

Manager node was working fine ..docker info--> swarm did not give any errors. but when i try to join the worker nodes with the token .. i got this error "Error response from daemon: Timeout was reached before node joined. The attempt to join the swarm will continue in the background. Use the "docker info" command to see the current swarm status of your node. " while docker info showed me "rpc error: code = DeadlineExceeded desc = context deadline exceeded in swarm error"

tried a lot of different things finally below solution worked.

solution. -->. i used "docker swarm init --force-new-cluster". in one of the vms i tried to join the as a worker.. and then i used "docker swarm leave --force" on the existing manager node .. and the joined that one as a worker to the newly created cluster. Other vm also also worked when tried to join as workers for the new cluster..

ubuntu - 18.04 docker version -20.10.17

Answer 3

For Me, this error got resolved by making the Security groups to Inbound Rules to All traffic in AWS.

Answer 4

There is no routing between the Mac host and Docker for Mac. So on a Mac you can only setup multi-node swarms between VMs, and the standard Docker for Mac cannot participate in a multi-node swam. This is a limitation on how networking is implemented on OSX.

See the documentation, where this is explained. Also see this issue for more background.
