Hell yeah, I think people don’t consider swarm enough, especially for Small Business situations where you do want some redundancy, but not all out k8 setup yet. I’ve seen some weird bugs with NAT and general networking issues with overlay networks randomly stop forwarding published ports. But usually rare and fixed with daemon restart or rebooting host. Swarm secrets alone are worth using it. We ran a single node swarm in dev, just to have all the secrets work the same way they do in prod.

Currently running 1 Docker standalone + a 3 node Docker swarm on a 3 node proxmox cluster. With UPS protection of servers, fibre modem and switches...
Using portainer to manage the swarm cluster... Never used oxa... Would like to know more about that and migration of Docker to Kubernetes

Starting to run Docker Swarm for homelab. For 3 physical and multi-vm, there's no need to add the complexity of kubernetes.
Your scripts are cool. Would you share those on your github?
