If I immediately terminate the process that called docker stack deploy will the docker swarm continue?

My use case is this:

  1. In my CI job I ssh into my swarm cluster node.
  2. I copy the new stack.yml file and issue
  3. docker stack deploy -c stack.yml stack
  4. Since this immediately returns, my CI job disconnects from ssh.

My question is whether this can lead to some unforeseen side-effects? Is my deploy being terminated midway? Or will docker swarm be smart enough to keep going on its own.

Thanks

  • You could test it: run the cmd through a ssh session and ctrl-D once you issue it

  • I'm getting weird behaviour, regardless of what I do. Some of my services (out of 3 replicas) get updated, while others don't...

  • Sounds like it's not safe. Try adding a custom CI step consisting in checking the stack deployment, based on docker stack stack services executions...

It is safe. As soon as docker returns it is safe to logout/leave the shell.

The issue was that Docker 18.06.0-ce broke docker stack deploy. Reverting to 18.03.1 (specifically 18.03.1~ce-0~ubuntu) made it work.
