Now that we have Consul instances set up let us explore how to exploit them to our own benefit. We'll study the design of the Docker Flow Proxy as a way to demonstrate some of the challenges and solutions you might want to apply to your own services.
Let us create the proxy network and the service:
eval $(docker-machine env swarm-1)docker network create --driver overlay proxydocker service create --name proxy \ -p 80:80 \ -p 443:443 \ -p 8080:8080 \ --network proxy \ -e MODE=swarm \ --replicas 3 \ -e CONSUL_ADDRESS="$(docker-machine ip swarm-1):8500 \,$(docker-machine ip \swarm-2):8500,$(docker-machine ip swarm-3):8500" \ vfarcic/docker-flow-proxy
The command we used to create the proxy service ...
