2.0 Adding Users to Docker Group

---

*Must be done on each docker node if there's more than one

*PAT= placeholder name 
*Any confusion on command syntax/structure can be clarified in in Legend

1. Login to the docker node and escalate to superuser

sudo su -

2. Add the user

sudo adduser pat[USER] (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[USER]
sudo usermod -aG sudo pat[USER]

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

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

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

ssh pat@[[USER]@[IP Address]ADDRESS]

6. Have user change their password NOT ON ROOT:

passwd (change on each docker node)
