Docker Swarm Overlay Network Communication

0 votes

I'm trying to setup a Docker Swarm where containers comunicate using Overlay Network.

I'm simulating the infrastructure using 4 Raspberry Pi 3 Boards using HypriotOS 1.0.0 Linux distribution which include Docker Engine 1.12.1

After Swarm initialization ssh into manger node

# create one overlay network
$ docker network create --driver overlay swarm_network
# create first service (foo)
$ docker service create --replicas 1 --name foo --network swarm_network resin/rpi-raspbian tail -F -n0 /etc/hosts
# create second service (bar)
$ docker service create --replicas 1 --name bar --network swarm_network resin/rpi-raspbian tail -F -n0 /etc/hosts
# list services
$ docker service ls
ID            NAME  REPLICAS  IMAGE               COMMAND
aqhcndcdoaf4  bar   1/1       resin/rpi-raspbian  tail -F -n0 /etc/hosts
cylg7ws3egx7  foo   1/1       resin/rpi-raspbian  tail -F -n0 /etc/hosts
# find docker host running foo service
$ docker service ps foo
ID                         NAME   IMAGE               NODE     DESIRED  STATE  CURRENT STATE              ERROR
ed6z74ncz1zf0dqc7wph5huvk  foo.1  resin/rpi-raspbian  swarm-2  Running  Running about an hour ago

ssh into swarm-2 node

$docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                       COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES

# exec into the running container 
$ docker exec -it foo.1.ed6z74ncz1zf0dqc7wph5huvk /bin/bash
# try dns resolution (OK)

1 packets transmitted, 0 received, +1 errors, 100% packet loss, time 0ms

I'm unable to ping my services what I'm doing wrong?
