madurity stage

Hi

first of all, good jobs, this projects fits perfectly with me needed, i see that have more than 3 years with many commits, but in the readme we can found that is in alpha stage. Do you thing that it isn't ready for production yet?

My idea is use it for store the data of a mariadb deployed in a swarm cluster in hetzner vps and achieve application level high aviability

thanks.

Hi @devMls

Back when I started coding this project, docker swarm had already kind of "lost the orchestration wars" to kubernetes. In the meantime its position has only gotten worse, being also shadowed by nomad and other "kubernetes made easy" distros like rancher.

This all means I have pretty much lost interest in docker (+swarm) as a deployment platform. I still try to keep this project functional, but it won't be getting much love from me in the forseeable future. (which doesn't mean other people can't contribute, though!)

If it works for you and you can live with the danger that some yet undiscovered bug might eat your volumes, then this tool should suit you.

Does that answer your question?

We are using this plugin and it has been really stable. I think marking this as alpha does not represent the actual stability of the plugin.

Leaving some updates on what has happened in Docker Swarm land over the last few weeks.

• This volume still works perfectly fine with Docker 23.0.0.
• Docker 23.0.0 adds experimental support for CSI Volumes, meaning the official Hetzner driver can be made working, see my PR at add Docker Swarm support hetznercloud/csi-driver#376
• With CSI support multiple containers on the same node can have access to a volume (!)
• For production use I would still recommend the driver in this repository here for the time being while the kinks in the CSI support are ironed out
