Broken swarm, cannot get past errors after errors

Hello,

I am closely following Docker Swarm Networking and Dynamic Reverse Proxy - Tech entrepreneur with a profound experience building distributed applications, author and well-known speaker. I have unwavering passion for cloud, fintech and startups. to get my first goal in running a little swarm.

It almost worked, I could reach traefik webpage but it didnt show any worker nodes, so I threw everything away and started all over.
But now, all I get is the message

Error response from daemon: This node is not a swarm manager. Use “docker swarm init” or “docker swarm join” to connect this node to swarm and try again

I even get this after completely removing docker (apt remove --purge docker-ce) and removing /var/lib/docker.

Example command

docker network create --driver overlay appnet

Then I found another script I could follow (Build a Traefik Proxy Image for Your Raspberry Pi on Docker Swarm - Ruan Bekker's Blog), but its the same deal.

Could anyone help me figuring this out?
I want to completely start over since I know something didnt work quite well.

Hey! thats not a big deal.just enter into shell to your manager node or you can use
docker- machine ssh <manager’s name> "docker node ls "
to verify manager node is working fine
