Stuck Seeking Swarm Solutions? See simple solution

[IGitYou]

hiya.

I have been fighting with how to get full socket like functionality in a docker swarm environment. I tried all sorts of stuff... mulled over it for months... and then it hit me.

I have it successfully running as a global service (so one is on each node) and the trick, do not use a networked socket but a Unix socket .sock kinda config and point your services to use that. This will force the local instance to respond to the local service requesting info and be same as native socket.

Not sure what value I am adding by proxying it... I am asking in another thread.

I thought I would share as this was an issue for me and is an issue with all swarmed socket proxies....

Hope this helps someone else.
