Relationship with Swarm Mode? #54

Closed raarts closed 5 years ago

raarts commented 6 years ago

Hi, just encountered Gorb. It's unclear to me if it would still be beneficial given that Docker Swarm Mode also uses IPVS. Can they be used together? Would that be useful? Thanks for any clarity. Maybe this could be in the README?

Docker Swarm IPVS support was to some extent inspired by this project. Nevertheless, GORB is primarly just a load balancer, not specific to Docker or anything else, e.g. you can use it to front any kind of software. Using it with Docker Swarm might make sense if you want to front your Docker cluster with a load balancer or perhaps put multiple clusters behind one VIP, for example. I'm going to close this though, since it's not really an issue with the project =)
