Expected behavior
‘docker swarm init’ or ‘docker swarm join’ does not terminate all active Remote Desktop connections.
Actual behavior
The very second I perform the ‘docker swarm init’ or ‘docker swarm join’ command, the Remote Desktop Connection is dropped and never can be re-connected (even after VM reboots).
Information
I’m seeing an issue on Windows Server 2016 #1607 (with all current updates) running Docker 17.06.2-ee-5 in AWS EC2. I open up the ports in Windows Firewall as per Docker Install guidelines.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
Launched ami-5dbc7427: Windows Server 2016 with Containers (private VPC/subnet), then remoted in with RDP, Alternatively, I have also run many tests now with: ami-e3bb7399: Windows_Server-2016-English-Full-Base-2017.10.13
Performed a docker and system upgrade:
o Uninstall-Module DockerMsftProvider -Force
o Install-Module DockerProvider -Force
o Install-Package Docker -ProviderName DockerProvider -Force
o Open up MS Firewall ports in attached PS1.
o sconfig -> Option 6, accept all OS updates. Restart.
o Ensure docker is running and verify with docker version.
o docker swarm init --advertise-addr=10.134.X.X --listen-addr=10.134.X.X:2377
I’ve tried all sorts of combinations of advertise-addr (should be 10.134.X so other VMs can reach on private IP) and listen-addr (shouldn’t be needed) or none at all. Same with if I try to ‘docker join’ to existing Docker Swarm manager (Linux).
o Yes, I get the swarm initialized manager message BUT within a second, I’ve lost RDP access (timeout, retries 20 times to failure)
o After losing RDP, I’m never able to reconnect to that Windows VM, even across restarts.
