What problem does it solve?
This Skill provides a structured approach to deploying and operating Docker Swarm environments using stacks, consistent networking, TLS certificate management, shared storage permissions, Portainer integration, and GPU workload support; it ensures repeatable deployments and governance for multi-service applications.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Stack-based deployments: use docker stack deploy with compose templates for scalable services.
- TLS and certificate management: Traefik-based TLS handling with per-service certificates.
- NFS permissions: proper file ownership and root_squash considerations for container access.
- Portainer management: streamlined agent and container orchestration during daemon restarts and updates.
- GPU workloads: constrained scheduling and device reservations for GPU-enabled services.
- Networking & discovery: overlay networks with service discovery across stacks.
- Operational hardening: health checks, rolling updates, and debugging best practices.
Quick Start
Run a sample stack using docker stack deploy -c compose.yml <stack-name> to validate your Swarm setup.
