2.0 Adding Users to Docker Group

---

*Must be done on each docker node

*PAT= placeholder name 

1. Escalate to superuser

sudo su -

2. Add the user

sudo adduser pat (set the password to something easy i.e. password // can also be changed in /etc/passwd)

3. Give user permission to the docker and sudoers group

sudo usermod -aG docker pat
sudo usermod -aG sudo pat

4. Connect to user’s account and import user’s github keys

su pat
ssh-import-id-gh [PAT's GITHUB USERNAME]

5. Test whether or not the user can connect to each docker swarm:

ssh pat@[IP Address]

6. Have user change their password NOT ON ROOT:

passwd (change on each docker node)
