**Warning:** this command is part of the Swarm management feature introduced in Docker 1.12, and might be subject to non backward-compatible changes.
# swarm init
Usage: docker swarm init [OPTIONS]
Initialize a Swarm.
Options:
--auto-accept value Acceptance policy (default [worker,manager])
--force-new-cluster Force create a new cluster from current state.
--help Print usage
--listen-addr value Listen address (default 0.0.0.0:2377)
--secret string Set secret value needed to accept nodes into cluster
Initialize a Swarm cluster. The docker engine targeted by this command becomes a manager
in the newly created one node Swarm cluster.
```bash
$ docker swarm init --listen-addr 192.168.99.121:2377
Initializing a new swarm
$ docker node ls
ID NAME STATUS AVAILABILITY/MEMBERSHIP MANAGER STATUS LEADER
3l1f6uzcuoa3 * swarm-master READY ACTIVE REACHABLE Yes
```
### --auto-accept value
This flag controls node acceptance into the cluster. By default, both `worker` and `manager`
nodes are auto accepted by the cluster. This can be changed by specifing what kinds of nodes
can be auto-accepted into the cluster. If auto-accept is not turned on, then
[node accept](node_accept.md) can be used to explicitly accept a node into the cluster.
For example, the following initializes a cluster with auto-acceptance of workers, but not managers
```bash
$ docker swarm init --listen-addr 192.168.99.121:2377 --auto-accept worker
Initializing a new swarm
```
### `--force-new-cluster`
This flag forces an existing node that was part of a quorum that was lost to restart as a single node Manager without losing its data
### `--listen-addr value`
The node listens for inbound Swarm manager traffic on this IP:PORT
### `--secret string`
Secret value needed to accept nodes into the Swarm
