## What it is
A guide and collection of recipes for setting up a production-ready Docker Swarm mode cluster with HTTPS via Traefik and Let's Encrypt in minutes. The site is now deprecated and kept for historical reasons, with a continuation at dockerswarmstill.rocks.

## Use cases
- set up a docker swarm cluster in minutes
- deploy apps to production with docker swarm mode
- get https with traefik and letsencrypt on a swarm cluster
- learn docker swarm instead of kubernetes for small teams
- find docker swarm deployment recipes and tools
- scale from a single server to a distributed cluster

## When to choose
- you want a simple, fast alternative to Kubernetes for small or medium teams
- you already use Docker Compose and want the same files in production
- you need a guide for Traefik and Let's Encrypt on a swarm cluster

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained tooling - the project is deprecated
- you run large-scale clusters or need the Kubernetes ecosystem
- you want a supported orchestrator for enterprise environments
