Swarm is not far from my dream deploy solution, but here are some points that might be better, some of them being already better in uncloud I think:

- energy in the community is low, it's hard to find an active discussion channel of swarm users

- swarm does not support the complete compose file format. This is really annoying

- sometimes, deploys fail for unclear reasons (eg a network was not found, but why as it's defined in the compose file?) and work the next try. This is never lead to problems, but doesn't feel right

- working with authenticate/custom registries is somewhat cumbersome

- having to work with registries to have the same image deployed on all nodes is sometimes annoying. It could be cool to have images spreading across nodes.

- there's no contact between devs and users. I've just discovered uncloud and I've had more contact with its devs here than in years of using swarm!

- the firewalling is not always clear/clean

- logs accessibility (service vs container) and containers identification: when a container fails to start, it's sometimes harder than needed to debug (esp when it is because the image is not available)



Thanks for the detailed overview!
