Compose: Docker stack deploy does not support systemd containers (cap_add, tmpfs)

[jamshid]

Nobody wants to run systemd in a container, but it's necessary because not all software is docker-ready, or docker is being used to simulate a production system.

It's great that docker 1.13 can now deploy a docker-compose.yml to swarm, but the limited configuration support means systemd containers will not run. docker stack deploy reports:

Ignoring unsupported options: cap_add, devices, privileged, security_opt, tmpfs

When will stack/bundle/dab/whatever support systemd containers, which require cap_add and tmpfs?

    cap_add:
      - SYS_ADMIN
    tmpfs: /run
    volumes:
      - /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro
    environment:
      - container=docker

PS: devices would also be very useful especially if the value could somehow be made different on different swarm nodes.

Hi!

For anything related to the docker stack commands, you'll need to create an issue on the docker/docker repo - I'm afraid I can only assist with issues related to docker-compose itself.
