Removes specified nodes from a swarm.
When run from a manager node, removes the specified nodes from a swarm.
Example output:
$ docker node rm swarm-node-02
Node swarm-node-02 removed from swarm
```nohighlight
$ docker node rm swarm-node-02
Removes nodes from the swarm that are in the down state. Attempting to remove
an active node will result in an error:
```bash
$ docker node rm swarm-node-03
Error response from daemon: rpc error: code = 9 desc = node swarm-node-03 is not down and can't be removed
Node swarm-node-02 removed from swarm
```
If a worker node becomes compromised, exhibits unexpected or unwanted behavior, or if you lose access to it so
that a clean shutdown is impossible, you can use the force option.
Removes the specified nodes from the swarm, but only if the nodes are in the
down state. If you attempt to remove an active node you will receive an error:
```bash
```nohighlight
$ docker node rm swarm-node-03
Error response from daemon: rpc error: code = 9 desc = node swarm-node-03 is not
down and can't be removed
```
If you lose access to a worker node or need to shut it down because it has been
compromised or is not behaving as expected, you can use the `--force` option.
This may cause transient errors or interruptions, depending on the type of task
being run on the node.
```nohighlight
$ docker node rm --force swarm-node-03
Node swarm-node-03 removed from swarm
```
Note that manager nodes have to be demoted to worker nodes before they can be removed
from the cluster.
A manager node must be demoted to a worker node (using `docker node demote`)
before you can remove it from the swarm.

Usage: docker swarm leave [OPTIONS]
Leave a swarm
Leave the swarm (workers only).
Options:
--force Force leave ignoring warnings.
--force Force this node to leave the swarm, ignoring warnings
--help Print usage
```
This command causes the node to leave the swarm.
When you run this command on a worker, that worker leaves the swarm.
On a manager node:
You can use the `--force` option to on a manager to remove it from the swarm.
However, this does not reconfigure the swarm to ensure that there are enough
managers to maintain a quorum in the swarm. The safe way to remove a manager
from a swarm is to demote it to a worker and then direct it to leave the quorum
without using `--force`. Only use `--force` in situations where the swarm will
no longer be used after the manager leaves, such as in a single-node swarm.
Consider the following swarm, as seen from the manager:
```bash
$ docker node ls
ID HOSTNAME STATUS AVAILABILITY MANAGER STATUS
7ln70fl22uw2dvjn2ft53m3q5 worker2 Ready Active
dkp8vy1dq1kxleu9g4u78tlag worker1 Ready Active Reachable
dkp8vy1dq1kxleu9g4u78tlag worker1 Ready Active
dvfxp4zseq4s0rih1selh0d20 * manager1 Ready Active Leader
```
On a worker node, worker2 in the following example:
To remove `worker2`, issue the following command from `worker2` itself:
```bash
$ docker swarm leave
Node left the default swarm.
```
On a manager node:
```bash
$ docker node ls
ID HOSTNAME STATUS AVAILABILITY MANAGER STATUS
7ln70fl22uw2dvjn2ft53m3q5 worker2 Down Active
dkp8vy1dq1kxleu9g4u78tlag worker1 Ready Active Reachable
dvfxp4zseq4s0rih1selh0d20 * manager1 Ready Active Leader
```
To remove an inactive node, use the [`node rm`](swarm_rm.md) command instead.
