Docker – How to setup privileged in docker swarm

db2dockerdocker-swarm

I am running a db2 container sample using this docker command.
Reference docker image

docker run -itd --name mydb2 --privileged=true -p 50000:50000 -e LICENSE=accept -e DB2INST1_PASSWORD=Notallowed1! -e DBNAME=testdb ibmcom/db2

It is working.
If I remove the –privileged=true I will get below error.

connection error

So, –privileged=true is mandatory.

I tried add this to docker swarm as a service using this command.

docker service create --name db2luw_1 --privileged=true -p target=50000 -e LICENSE=accept -e 'DB2INST1_PASSWORD=Notallowed1!' -e DBNAME=testdb -d ibmcom/db2

But getting this error.

unknown flag: --privileged
See 'docker service create --help'.

How to run this container in docker swarm?
Removing the –privileged is creating the service but useless as we will get connection error.I tested that.

Creating a service means you run your containers in swarm mode. See How services work in Docker documentation on that.

Unfortunately privileged mode doesn't work in swarm mode. As you see here the --privileged option isn't available when running docker service create
