This set of playbooks is used to deploy a Swarm cluster in AWS together with Flocker as volume plugin and using etcd as KV store for Docker and Swarm

*** WORK IN PROGRESS ***

Disclaimer: this is rather messy pile of playbooks, but they do their work, though setup if not really functional. I've opened 2 issues in Githubm regarding this setup:

• docker/compose#2958
• docker-archive/classicswarm#1847

One more issue is steady growth of opened flocker.sock file on nodes with swarm agent running, but I will do some more research before reporting.

Versions used:

• Ubuntu 14.04.4
• Docker Engine 1.10.1
• etcd 2.2.5
• Docker Compose 1.6
• Flocker 1.10.2

Quick notes

Preparation

• set AWS region and ssh keyname in group_vars/all.yml
• put AWS access and secret keys for Flocker in ansible-vault protected vars file in roles/docker-noda/defaults/secretvars.yml like this:

---
  aws_accesskey: AKIAKAIAKAI
  aws_secretkey: 37780ea436530e0b6053f7f1380e9c327bb8a6dc

Now everything should be ready to deploy.

Order of execution:

1. Initialize cfssl-based PKI in cfssl folder
2. ansible-playbook initcfsslca.yml
3. Set up etcd cluster (3 nodes)
4. ansible-playbook etcd-create.yml
5. ansible-playbook etcd-setup.yml
6. Set up Flocker control node (1 node)
7. ansible-playbook flocker-create.yml
8. ansible-playbook flocker-setup.yml
9. Set up Swarm master nodes (2 nodes)
10. ansible-playbook swarm-masters-create.yml
11. ansible-playbook swarm-masters-setup.yml
12. Set up Swarm worker nodes (2 nodes)
13. ansible-playbook swarm-nodes-create.yml
14. ansible-playbook swarm-nodes-setup.yml

At this point everything should be up and running.
