Docker Cloud allows you to connect your local Docker Engine to any swarm you
have access to in Docker Cloud. To do this, you run a proxy container in your
local Docker instance, which connects to a manager node on the target swarm.

depending on how you are running Docker on your local system:
## Connect to a swarm

## Connect to a swarm with a Docker Cloud generated run command
On platforms other than Docker for Mac or Docker for Windows (Edge channel), you
can connect to a swarm manually at the command line by running a proxy container
in your local Docker instance, which connects to a manager node on the target
swarm.
1. Log in to Docker Cloud in your web browser.
2. Click **Swarms** in the top navigation, and click the name of the swarm you want to connect to.

To switch to Docker hosts:
