Docker Swarm Node Status Down

Docker Engine Swarm
1

hi. so i am trying to set up a docker swarm and they seem to have connected but when i deploy a service with the following command, i was expecting the services to be distributed between 2 nodes.

sudo docker service create --name my_web \
                        --replicas 6 \
                        --publish published=8080,target=80 \
                        nginx

but when i run the following command, i get the following response:
sudo docker service ps my_web

it shows that all the service replicas are on the master node. and when i run the following command, i get the response:
sudo docker node ls

ID                            HOSTNAME            STATUS              AVAILABILITY        MANAGER STATUS
txd59uxjwe9eulo7qx6yrginn *   node00              Ready               Active              Leader
mbb4rbyrghzxbdf9g4f5pxgmp     node01              Down                Active

it shows that node01’s AVAILABILITY is Active, but the STATUS is Down.

does anyone know what could be causing this issue. i am new to docker swarm so any help is appreciated.

Hiya,

“Down” just means that the node isn’t reachable for some reason - it shouldn’t have anything to do with that specific service you started, it’ll be a larger problem of inter connectivity between the nodes.

A couple of things to check:

Are you able to ping it from node00?

If you access node01, can you confirm that the docker daemon is still running?

i restarted both nodes and left the swarm and created a new swarm. it looks like it is working now.

I have to nodes, they can ping success to each other, and the docker daemon is running,:

But the swarm node manager still show the node status is down

docker node ls
