🔖 Feature description

So I've been playing around with a bit of a niche build where I have isolated docker instances running on a proxmox cluster. I've been using swarm to manage the network and give me a cross-node networking interface for traefik, which understands swarm just fine.

I'm still using Dockge to target individual nodes within the swarm to deploy containers because I only want single deploys targeting specific nodes with their own set of performance limitations and resources. High availability is managed through proxmox and load balancing through traefik.

✔️ Solution

I think that it should be possible to use the swarm to discover nodes and target nodes for deploy. This removes the need for agents in the case a user wants to set up swarm. We also gain auto-discovery when new nodes are added to the swarm, as well as node names.

This is not asking for full swarm support, as that could need somewhat more effort.
