Going for a shameless plug - I am working on an observability dashboard for Docker Swarm: https://github.com/Radiergummi/cetacean Also works for a single node cluster. Maybe that’s closer to what you’re looking for.
Hey that’s pretty cool, nice to see someone paying attention to Docker Swarm (it’s nice for simple deployments, like multi-server Compose). You might want to add some screenshots to the docs though. There was also Swarmpit but it didn’t really get that much love, sadly: https://github.com/swarmpit/swarmpit/issues/719 Portainer is pretty nice feature wise but even with lowered MTU I still get odd networking related is…
I love swarm! If only it wasn’t the unloved step child…

#135If you have a git repo for anything that's supposed to be an interface to anything, please put one screenshot at the top of your readme. I get that the website has these, but its the best way to let me know more about your product in one shot.

One of my favorite interview questions: "Here are some SSH credentials. What does this system do?" Sometimes there aren't any docs. Sometimes the docs are wrong. It's important to be able to establish what the actual running situation is.
When I was interviewing people on behalf of a client, I was surprised at the number of people who didn't even know what SSH was. This was for a mid-level software developer and not a junior and they all came with glowing resumes. They all insisted that it was essential to have a CI/CD process but didn't even know what the "CD" part even did. Apparently you just "git push" and the code magically gets on the server. Th…
