Is there a replacement for docker swarm on Rocky Linux 8?

by ,


GetPageSpeed keeps NGINX and Varnish servers fast and secure: performance modules and builds, plus security fixes within days, all through routine dnf, yum or apt upgrades. It maintains the largest RPM repository of NGINX module packages and Varnish VMODs, with APT packages for Debian and Ubuntu.
Free to install; commercial production use requires a subscription. Without one, a small license notice appears on HTML pages after 30 days.

Operating System and Software

  • Rocky Linux 8

Problem

  • Would like to use docker swarm on Rocky Linux 8, but docker is not available.
  • What orchestration tool can one use in pace of docker swarm on Rocky Linux 8?

How to Fix

  • The only container orchestration platform supported by Red Hat is OpenShift Container Platform.
    • docker swarm was unsupported on CentOS 7, and remains unsupported on Rocky Linux 8 due to the fact that Red Hat does not ship or support the docker container runtime on Rocky Linux 8.
    • podman does not replace or replicate the swarm functionality.
