For Swarm mode users: What features do you miss/need from Kubernetes ecosystem?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/docker

  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • docker-volume-hetzner

    Docker Volume Plugin for accessing Hetzner Cloud Volumes

    The big one which would be nice: CSI support. This is currently being worked on, though. This said the current volume plugin landscape is not that dire once you realize that the local volume driver which arguably has a confusing name can work with NFS,CIFS,etc. out of the box as long as you can use fuse mounts. Besides that, we are quite happy with our setup where we use the community volume driver for our cloud provider - https://github.com/costela/docker-volume-hetzner/

  • docker-stack-deploy

    Utility to improve docker stack deploy

    Also, it would be nice if docker secrets/configs would have a simpler rotation story. We work around this by appending the file hash to the secret/config name though: https://github.com/neuroforgede/docker-stack-deploy

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • podlike

    Co-located containers as Docker Swarm services (like Kubernetes pods)

    Also, for some fringe edgecases, you need pods instead of containers because some software requires shared volumes between containers. This is usually just an issue for off the shelve software. There are some (hacky) ways to achieve this though: https://github.com/rycus86/podlike

  • swarmsible

    Ansible based Tooling and production grade example Docker Stacks. Updated with new learnings from running Docker Swarm in production

  • nothelm.py

    nothelm.py - opinionated docker stack project tool with templating support

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
