Alternative solutions for swarm deployment

[vtcifer]

Ask a Question!

I'm reading through the install guide, which references issues when running on swarm with more than one manager, and links to this KB article .

Within there it mentions "One solution is to constrain your Portainer container to the node where your Portainer data is being persisted".

What other solutions are there? Nothing else is mentioned that I could find.

Hi,
You can use any shared storage between your docker swarm nodes.
NFS, S3, Ceph and many others can be used.

Here is a great guide to install CephFS with microceph on top of docker swarm:

If you are using Proxmox, I would recommend to install Ceph on your physical nodes for a more wide compatibility.
