* Added important disambiguation to swarm mode This really needs to be added, I had no idea people gave up on docker/swarm because of a misunderstanding, but it's common enough we need to clarify it. From Docker's public #swarm slack channel: ``` andrew grosser 4:45 PM Hey @channel I am about to give a talk in San Francisco to a bunch of devops experts about swarm using my ingress and reverse proxy controller https://github.com/sfproductlabs/roo and one of the organizers said swarm was deprecated, is that so? It's so much easier than kubernetes, I can't imagine losing it. sfproductlabs/roo A zero config distributed edge-router & reverse-proxy (supporting multiple letsencrypt/https hosts). No dependencies. Stars 40 Language Go <https://github.com/sfproductlabs/roo|sfproductlabs/roo>sfproductlabs/roo | Apr 9th | Added by GitHub 4:46 Is there something we don't know? james_wells 4:48 PM As of the most recent official Docker release, no Swarm is still officially part of Docker... They merely added native support for Kubernetes andrew grosser 4:49 PM 🙏 Phew, is there an EOL? 4:49 Thanks @james_wells 4:50 I think they going to get the grenade launchers out if I can't answer these questions james_wells 4:51 PM Now that is a good question and my guess is that no, there is no plan to remove it, at least before Docker 3. andrew grosser 4:52 PM Amazing thx, I have a system that is a startups dream and is personally saving me more than 10x using swarm, so praying it stays bmitch:docker: 4:53 PM Classic container deployed swarm is deprecated (I believe). Swarm mode that's integrated into the engine is still being developed by Mirantis with no EOL set. 4:53 So if someone says swarm is deprecated, make sure to ask "which swarm" they are referring to. andrew grosser 4:54 PM Ok thanks @bmitch 4:54 Think that's a brand thing we'll need to help change james_wells 4:56 PM @bmitch I am not sure I understand what you are sayin there. Could you please explain the differences bmitch:docker: 4:56 PM See the disambiguation section: https://hub.docker.com/r/dockerswarm/swarm james_wells 4:57 PM Excellent. Thank you sir andrew grosser 5:02 PM Thanks bmitch:docker: 5:02 PM See also this link where they are getting ready to archive the standalone swarm, aka classic swarm. https://github.com/docker/classicswarm/issues/2985#issuecomment-640486361 justincormackjustincormack Comment on #2985 Why have all issues been closed? The vast majority of issues were from 5 years ago when it was being actively developed, and the recent ones were all mistakes for swarmkit, other than some issues I resolved. Many were issues in components or Moby or other software and may be resolved. It is GitHubs (reasonable) recommendation that you close issues and PRs before archiving a repository so that people know they are not being worked on, and I was also looking to see if anyone came forward to say that they were still working on things or, indeed, actively using Swarm Classic. <https://github.com/docker/classicswarm|docker/classicswarm>docker/classicswarm | Jun 8th | Added by GitHub james_wells 5:08 PM That is really unfortunate... Kubernetes is simply too expensive IMNSHO, Swarm is nice and lightweight. andrew grosser 5:08 PM Both the different swarms point to the same point in the documentation in the disambiguation @bmitch bmitch:docker: 5:09 PM Swarm mode, aka swarmkit is alive and well. andrew grosser 5:10 PM Whoa I can see why they were confused bmitch:docker: 5:10 PM If you type docker swarm init you are not running classic swarm andrew grosser 5:11 PM Can someone inside docker add this to the swarm docs page? I think it's important 5:12 I think something talking about 2014 was EOLd but this is still current and alive would help. bmitch:docker: 5:12 PM Docker themselves isn't maintaining it, that team went to Mirantis, so someone over there would need to submit the PR andrew grosser 5:12 PM OK, could I? bmitch:docker: 5:13 PM Docs are in GitHub andrew grosser 5:13 PM Thanks ``` * Minor edit to the wording to clarify the diff * Minor update Co-authored-by: Usha Mandya <47779042+usha-mandya@users.noreply.github.com> |
