Whatever happened to swarm? I tried it maybe once, and that's that. Can't remember the last time I've seen docker swarm in a job ad also? Pretty much everything revolves with kubernetes or some combination with nomad.

It is supported and probably works, but everyone just uses Kubernetes. If you're big, you want to use managed proven solution. If you're small, you expect to get big one day, and you want to use future-proof technologies to avoid unnecessary migrations. I think that's the way it works.

Hashicorp was bought by IBM, so I don't have high hopes for Nomad, either... IBM is a graveyard of good technologies.

oh man, just read it, too bad.....

I still use Docker Swarm and have seen it a few times, but yes, it’s definitely not common, which is a shame, because it also works pretty well with Portainer. Literally one of the most painless solutions run self-host and administer in my experience, at least for smaller scales.

I know that Docker like the company recently made a comeback (they had some financial issues), but never used Portainer, but they look cool...they remind me of Rancher....do they have a free version?
