Joao Gilberto Magalhaes 5397f0166e Remove version directive from all Docker Compose and Swarm configuration files.
- Eliminated the `version` field across various examples and documentation for simplicity and alignment with newer Docker Compose and Swarm standards.
- Updated relevant documentation and example usage instructions accordingly.

# Swarm
## Setup Docker EasyHAProxy
This method involves using a Docker Swarm installation to discover containers and configure HAProxy.
EasyHAProxy inspects Docker containers within the Swarm and retrieves labels to configure HAProxy. Once it identifies a container with at least the label 'easyhaproxy.http.host,' it configures HAProxy to redirect traffic to that container. To accomplish this, EasyHAProxy may need to attach the same network to its container.
:::tip Docker Swarm Advantages
- **Container Discovery**: Docker Swarm facilitates the discovery of containers within the cluster, streamlining the process of identifying services for HAProxy configuration.
- **Remote Node Management**: Docker Swarm allows for the management of containers across multiple nodes, providing flexibility and scalability in deploying services while ensuring seamless HAProxy configuration across the cluster.
:::
It's recommended to create a network external to EasyHAProxy.
:::warning Limitations
- You cannot mix Docker containers with Swarm containers.
- This method does not work with containers that use the `--network=host` option. See [limitations](limitations.md) for details.
:::
For example:
```bash title="Create overlay network"
docker network create -d overlay --attachable easyhaproxy
```
And then deploy the EasyHAProxy stack:
```yaml
services:
haproxy:
image: byjg/easy-haproxy:4.6.0
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
deploy:
replicas: 1
environment:
EASYHAPROXY_DISCOVER: swarm
EASYHAPROXY_SSL_MODE: "loose"
HAPROXY_CUSTOMERRORS: "true"
HAPROXY_USERNAME: admin
HAPROXY_PASSWORD: password
HAPROXY_STATS_PORT: 1936
ports:
- "80:80/tcp"
- "443:443/tcp"
- "1936:1936/tcp"
networks:
- easyhaproxy
networks:
easyhaproxy:
external: true
```
Deploy the stack:
```bash title="Deploy EasyHAProxy stack"
docker stack deploy --compose-file docker-compose.yml easyhaproxy
```
Mapping to `/var/run/docker.sock` is necessary to discover the docker containers and get the labels;
:::danger Single Replica Only
**Do not** add more than one replica for EasyHAProxy. To understand why, see the [limitations](limitations.md) page.
:::
## Running containers
To make your containers "discoverable" by EasyHAProxy, that is the minimum configuration you need:
```yaml
services:
container:
image: my/image:tag
deploy:
replicas: 1
labels:
easyhaproxy.http.host: host1.local
easyhaproxy.http.port: 80
easyhaproxy.http.localport: 8080
networks:
- easyhaproxy
networks:
easyhaproxy:
external: true
```
Once the container is running, EasyHAProxy will detect automatically and start to redirect all traffic from `example.org:80` to your container.
You don't need to expose any port in your container.
Please follow the [docker label configuration](container-labels.md) to see other configurations available.
## Setup the EasyHAProxy container
You can configure the behavior of the EasyHAProxy by setup specific environment variables. To get a list of the variables, please follow the [environment variable guide](environment-variable.md)
## More information
You can refer to the [Docker Documentation](docker.md) to get other detailed instructions.
