in the docker-library/official-images GitHub
repo.
swarm is a simple tool which controls a cluster of Docker hosts and exposes it
as a single "virtual" host.
swarm uses the standard Docker API as its frontend, which means any tool which
speaks Docker can control swarm transparently: dokku, fig, krane, flynn, deis,
docker-ui, shipyard, drone.io, Jenkins... and of course the Docker client itself.
Like the other Docker projects, swarm follows the "batteries included but removable"
principle. It ships with a simple scheduling backend out of the box, and as initial
development settles, an API will develop to enable pluggable backends. The goal is
to provide a smooth out-of-box experience for simple use cases, and allow swapping
in more powerful backends, like Mesos, for large scale production deployments.

# <node_ip> doesn't have to be public (eg. 192.168.0.X),

Swarm supports TLS authentication between the CLI and Swarm but also between Swarm and the Docker nodes.
In order to enable TLS, the same command line options as Docker can be specified:
swarm manage --tlsverify --tlscacert=<CACERT> --tlscert=<CERT> --tlskey=<KEY> [...]
Please refer to the Docker documentation for more information on how to set up TLS authentication on Docker and generating the certificates.
Note that Swarm certificates must be generated withextendedKeyUsage = clientAuth,serverAuth.
