# node rm
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
Usage: docker node rm [OPTIONS] NODE [NODE...]
|
|
|
|
Remove one or more nodes from the swarm
|
|
|
|
Aliases:
|
|
rm, remove
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
-f, --force Force remove a node from the swarm
|
|
--help Print usage
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When run from a manager node, removes the specified nodes from a swarm.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example output:
|
|
|
|
```nohighlight
|
|
$ docker node rm swarm-node-02
|
|
|
|
Node swarm-node-02 removed from swarm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Removes the specified nodes from the swarm, but only if the nodes are in the
|
|
down state. If you attempt to remove an active node you will receive an error:
|
|
|
|
```nohighlight
|
|
$ docker node rm swarm-node-03
|
|
|
|
Error response from daemon: rpc error: code = 9 desc = node swarm-node-03 is not
|
|
down and can't be removed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you lose access to a worker node or need to shut it down because it has been
|
|
compromised or is not behaving as expected, you can use the `--force` option.
|
|
This may cause transient errors or interruptions, depending on the type of task
|
|
being run on the node.
|
|
|
|
```nohighlight
|
|
$ docker node rm --force swarm-node-03
|
|
|
|
Node swarm-node-03 removed from swarm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A manager node must be demoted to a worker node (using `docker node demote`)
|
|
before you can remove it from the swarm.
