Not GP, but I recently attempted to migrate a single-node Docker Compose setup to Docker Swarm and ran into the following issues:

- No ability to use secrets as environment variables, and no plans to change this

- Cannot use `network_mode` to specify a service to use for network connections a la Docker Compose

There were a few other minor issues which resulted in ditching Docker Swarm completely and moving to a Nomad + Consul stack instead.

While the way secrets work in Swarm seems weird when compared to Kubernetes, this is usually pretty easily solved by a quick overriding entrypoint in the docker stack file that does essentially this:

    export SOME_VAR=$(cat /run/secrets/some_secret)
    exec /original/entrypoint.sh

Can you explain the second one? I don't get the usecase.
