swarmkit VS docker

It's supported, though the development pace is rather slow. The are new features (the latest release brought support for the Container Storage Interface) and bugs and issues are worked on by the few maintainers the project has. You can check the repo here: https://github.com/moby/swarmkit

So the thing is support for Swarm was delegated to Mirantis, https://www.mirantis.com/blog/mirantis-will-continue-to-support-and-develop-docker-swarm/ since it was delegated very little was done to move forward swarm _> https://github.com/moby/swarmkit/commits/master , docker swarm itself (docker the company) is deprecated https://github.com/docker-archive/classicswarm . I think because there's no way to monetize swarm there's no real push for new features hence my assumption of deprecation.

Feature request: Enable "--device" in "stack deploy" for Confidential Computing

This doesn't look that abandoned? https://github.com/moby/swarmkit

Or are you talking about swarm the product (versus docker swarm mode)

I don’t feel a momentum in Docker Swarm development, seeing pull requests like #3072 sitting idle for half a year, originally from 2016.

privileged not being supported is problematic, but there are PRs for it on swarmkit, see https://github.com/moby/swarmkit/pull/3072 - let's see if that gets in.

It is already in a different repo: moby/swarmkit

Docker Swarm is dead. It should not be used for new projects because the competitive products are much better and more optimal. Check their repo bro - last commit 3months ago. https://github.com/docker/swarmkit https://www.reddit.com/r/docker/comments/ituysl/why_people_are_saying_docker_swarm_is_in_life/ Why would you start a project with a tool which got no future? Let's then use Silverlight or any shit like that.

Mostly it just needs resource defaults merged and some abstract type support so load balancer config doesn't have to be entirely by labels and I would never shift from it.

Everything is working fine, but it is not currently doing the automatic code reload. I tried mounting the volume but there is some conflict with the way docker and virtualbox handles files such that the conflict leads to file changes from the host not reflected in docker container. (That's not the first link I have that appears related to this problem, it's just the first I found while googling it on another day)...

Moby is the core of Docker. https://github.com/docker/docker redirects to it.

Docker however has made some major screwups in their IPv6 implementation, so it’s not so trivial as you’d expect it to be. There’s a whole discussion about it here: https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/issues/6075 but the gist is: Docker cannot auto-assign addresses (SLAAC) like a normal endpoint, it also cannot request a prefix (DHCPv6 PD) like a router, you have to set it all up manually.

That said, Swarm is definitely in maintenance mode, which is actually how some people like it, given that this means pretty good stability for the current features, instead of breaking changes, which are a slightly larger concern in the case of Kubernetes. However, this also means that new features will get implemented only occasionally, if ever - the last big one that i recall was Swarm jobs. Essentially, i'd say that it's still just a question of time until Swarm dies, but for now it's in the sweet spot of stability and usability if all that you need is a pretty simple and lightweight orchestrator.

From scrounging through the internet, my understanding is if multiple docker containers are run based on the same image, the only extra disk space used is what the writable layer uses and the read-only image data is shared by all the containers. https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/issues/1520#issuecomment-305179362

Wowww: https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/issues/6910#issue...

What the hell does "Docker's new direction to go back to its roots and focus on developer tooling" even mean? Docker is developer tooling, that's the whole product. That's not "going back to your roots" that's just doing your damn job.
