I have 2 hosts and a service running 4 containers. 2 containers on each host. If i am creating a load balancer, i get balanced only between the containers on the same host as the balancer.
How can i get the balancer to work across all 4 containers?
Is your load balancer in “active” state or “initializing”? If it’s in initializing,

It sounds like you might not have cross host communication.

Thank you so much for your help. It was indeed blocked in the initialisation phase.
I forgot to mention that the hosts were AWS EC2 instances. The UTP 500 and 4500 ports were open but still the load balancer was not active. After some research i found out that adding -e CATTLE_AGENT_IP=curl -s http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/local-ipv4 when registering the host would fix my problem.
