Error saying must specify a listening address

Question

ScaleWay gives my server an IP address that is not attached to a local interface as it gives the following error

# docker swarm init --advertise-addr <my-external-ip>:2377 --listen-addr 0.0.0.0:2377
Error response from daemon: must specify a listening address
because the address to advertise is not recognized as a system address

How is docker swarm supposed to be setup in such an environment?

Answer 1

To define non system IP Address: IP Addresses used with technologies like DNAT. These IP Addresses are not set on local interface and visible to underlying operating system.
