Docker Swarm Cluster: daemonize

Question

I'm in the process of setting up a Docker Swarm cluster

Im on this step:

sudo docker daemon -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock

However, it looks like it's not deamonizing it (the program is still holding the screen)

How do I daemonize it?

Try [`dockerd -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/dockerd/) — Remus Rusanu, Aug 16 '16 at 05:07

You need to make sure you run the daemon as a background process using nohup / &, using your example:

sudo nohup docker daemon -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock &

Note: docker daemon has been deprecated and this should be dockerd now.

This is no different than running any other Linux process in the background: How to run process as background and never die?
