weave status <garbage> produces 404

[abuehrle]

I don't think this command exists, but say I have a swarm as setup in the following example:

http://weave.works/guides/weave-and-docker-platform/chapter3/machine-and-swarm-with-weave-proxy.html

And I run weave status weave-1 or weave status weave-2

weave returns: 404 page not found

(the last VM I configured was weave-3 and from there I can issue weave commands directly. )

I am aware that this is not the correct command and that I have to go through Docker, but maybe the message should tell me something to that effect.

I thought that was pretty intuitive. This was not very intuitive:

docker docker-machine config --swarm weave-1 info

I don't understand that last comment. What does that have to do with weave status?

[abuehrle]

I'm on the client talking to the VM's, I've provisioned 3 machines and then connected them. The last one I provisioned was weave-3, how do I go back to weave-1 without going through docker? i guess I can't is the answer. To me, doing a "weave status weave-1" kind of made sense, but to you it probably doesn't.

Anyway, probably I would return "this is an invalid argument" rather than a 404 error of which I thought something was happening, since this is normally an http error and not something I would expect in this case.

how do I go back to weave-1

What are you trying to do? What does "go back" mean? Do you want to run weave status on weave-1?

DOCKER_CLIENT_ARGS="$(docker-machine config weave-1)" weave status

should do the trick.

[abuehrle]

Yes, I can do that. But what happens when I want to switch VMs, do I have to re-set my env each time to recognize the new host? or is there a way to put all three VMs in my env so I don’t have to swap environments each time. Forgive my naive question.

I really struggle to understand what you are trying to do accomplish. When you say "I have to re-set my env each time", what exactly are you referring to?

[abuehrle]

Never mind. Just pointing out something as someone new coming to Weave.

Well, I'd quite like to understand what it is that you are pointing out :)
