Setting up a Cluster

Deploybot assumes that it is running on a cluster. Currently the best supported cluster is Docker Swarm.

We are actively researching other cluster technologies such as Kubernetes but Docker Swarm is the best tested and what we currently recommend.

We recommend following the Swarm Mode Tutorial to setup your Docker Swarm cluster.

tip

We recommend setting up a cluster with at least 1 manager and 2 nodes. While you can continue installation with a single server deployment (i.e. a single server that is the only manager and the only node), it is unlikely to perform well under load.

Once your cluster is setup, continue on to installing deploybot.
