Hello everybody,  
I’ve set up a docker UCP installation with docker-machine and swarm. I’ve also created a flocker storage cluster on DIFFERENT nodes (not part of the docker swarm) and I’m now wondering if I can connect the flocker storage to the docker swarm? Or do the flocker nodes need to be installed on the docker nodes? I couldn’t figure this out from the official flocker documentation. Please help.

Thanks in advance

Hi hmaeck,

You’ll need to install the Flocker agent on all the nodes you are also running Docker on.

Here is a recent blog we did about the set up. [https://clusterhq.com/2016/02/16/ucp-flocker/](https://clusterhq.com/2016/02/16/ucp-flocker/)

Ping us at [support@clusterhq.com](mailto:support@clusterhq.com) if you need anything.

Cheers,

Michael
