docker/ucp install

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

Install UCP on this node

Usage

docker container run --rm -it \
    --name ucp \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    docker/ucp \
    install [command options]

Description

This command initializes a new swarm, turns this node into a manager, and installs Docker Universal Control Plane (UCP).

When installing UCP you can customize:

  • The certificates used by the UCP web server. Create a volume named ‘ucp-controller-server-certs’ and copy the ca.pem, cert.pem, and key.pem files to the root directory. Then run the install command with the --external-server-cert flag.

  • The license used by UCP, by bind-mounting the file at ‘/config/docker_subscription.lic’ in the tool. For example, -v /path/to/my/config/docker_subscription.lic:/config/docker_subscription.lic or by specifying with ‘--license “$(cat license.lic)”

If you’re joining more nodes to this swarm, open the following ports in your firewall:

  • 443 or the ‘--controller-port’
  • 2376 or the ‘--swarm-port’
  • 12376, 12379, 12380, 12381, 12382, 12383, 12384, 12385, 12386, 12387
  • 4789 (udp) and 7946 (tcp/udp) for overlay networking

If you have SELinux policies enabled for your Docker install, you will need to use docker container run --rm -it --security-opt label=disable ... when running this command.
