this change improves the instructions for
swarm join-token and swarm init;
- only print the join-token command for workers
instead of for both managers and workers, to
prevent users from copying the wrong command.
An extra line is added to explain how to obtain
the manager token.
- print a message that a token was rotated
sucesfully if '--rotate' is used.
- add some extra white-space before / after
the join commands, to make copy/pasting
easier.
this change also does some refactoring of join-token;
- move flagname-constants together with other constants
- use variables for selected role ("worker" / "manager")
to prevent checking for them multiple times, and to
keep the "worker" / "manager" sting centralized
- add an extra blank line after "join-token" instructions
this makes it easier to copy, and cleans up the
code a tiny bit

swarm join-token
Usage: docker swarm join-token [--rotate] (worker|manager)
Manage join tokens
Options:
--help Print usage
-q, --quiet Only display token
--rotate Rotate join token
Join tokens are secrets that allow a node to join the swarm. There are two
different join tokens available, one for the worker role and one for the manager
role. You pass the token using the --token flag when you run
swarm join. Nodes use the join token only when they join the
swarm.
You can view or rotate the join tokens using swarm join-token.
As a convenience, you can pass worker or manager as an argument to
join-token to print the full docker swarm join command to join a new node to
the swarm:
$ docker swarm join-token worker
To add a worker to this swarm, run the following command:
docker swarm join \
--token SWMTKN-1-3pu6hszjas19xyp7ghgosyx9k8atbfcr8p2is99znpy26u2lkl-1awxwuwd3z9j1z3puu7rcgdbx \
172.17.0.2:2377
$ docker swarm join-token manager
To add a manager to this swarm, run the following command:
docker swarm join \
--token SWMTKN-1-3pu6hszjas19xyp7ghgosyx9k8atbfcr8p2is99znpy26u2lkl-7p73s1dx5in4tatdymyhg9hu2 \
172.17.0.2:2377
Use the --rotate flag to generate a new join token for the specified role:
$ docker swarm join-token --rotate worker
Succesfully rotated worker join token.
To add a worker to this swarm, run the following command:
docker swarm join \
--token SWMTKN-1-3pu6hszjas19xyp7ghgosyx9k8atbfcr8p2is99znpy26u2lkl-b30ljddcqhef9b9v4rs7mel7t \
172.17.0.2:2377
After using --rotate, only the new token will be valid for joining with the specified role.
The -q (or --quiet) flag only prints the token:
$ docker swarm join-token -q worker
SWMTKN-1-3pu6hszjas19xyp7ghgosyx9k8atbfcr8p2is99znpy26u2lkl-b30ljddcqhef9b9v4rs7mel7t
--rotate
Because tokens allow new nodes to join the swarm, you should keep them secret. Be particularly careful with manager tokens since they allow new manager nodes to join the swarm. A rogue manager has the potential to disrupt the operation of your swarm.
Rotate your swarm's join token if a token gets checked-in to version control, stolen, or a node is compromised. You may also want to periodically rotate the token to ensure any unknown token leaks do not allow a rogue node to join the swarm.
To rotate the join token and print the newly generated token, run
docker swarm join-token --rotate and pass the role: manager or worker.
Rotating a join-token means that no new nodes will be able to join the swarm using the old token. Rotation does not affect existing nodes in the swarm because the join token is only used for authorizing new nodes joining the swarm.
--quiet
Only print the token. Do not print a complete command for joining.
