Script to Create Docker Swarm on DigitalOcean

My goal here was to put together a script for easily setting up a Swarm on DigitalOcean. As with the previous post, I wanted to do this without relying on Docker Machine, so again, I leaned on doctl to do the heavy lifting.

TL;DR: Get the Swarm Creation Script on GitHub

The resulting script provides some basic configuration options (Droplet size, number of masters/workers, etc) and automates the Swarm creation process. It strikes a balance between the simplicity/drudgery of creating a Swarm manually and the complexity/power of using a tool like Terraform to manage infrastructure.

There's not a lot more to say here, as I (hopefully) included the necessary documentation in the README.

I don't know what kind of demand there is for a script like this, but at a minimum, it's helpful for presentations, demos, and folks getting started.

So, check it out, clone it, use it, fork it, and let me know if you have any questions or issues: mjclemente/do-swarm-create
