To unlock a swarm manager after it restarts, run the `docker swarm unlock`

command and provide the following key:



    SWMKEY-1-fYYS/AVW5WrhGC6POtrarbNpecqOHsMgAtZnYvJ+s4k



Please remember to store this key in a password manager, since without it you

will not be able to restart the manager.

sunny@Oracle1:~/Desktop$ 

Note: you need to remember the key for unlock and need to restart the service of docker for implement lock or unlock.

sudo systemctl restart docker 

If you try to check the swarn node list then you will get the error without unlocking it as:

root@Oracle1:/home/sunny/Desktop# docker  node ls

Error response from daemon: Swarm is encrypted and needs to be unlocked before it can be used. Please use "docker swarm unlock" to unlock it.
