[Feature]: Support Milvus on docker swarm

[xiaofan-luan]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Milvus is now supported to deployed with docker compose, helm charts and kubernetes operator.

Docker Swarm is a container orchestration platform that allows users to manage and scale their applications effortlessly. By adding support for Docker Swarm, Milvus will become more accessible and easier to manage in a distributed environment, enhancing its usability in real-world scenarios.

Describe the solution you'd like.

To finish this issue, we need:

1. Code contribution on https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/tree/master/deployments about how to deploy on dockerwarm
2. A demo and a detail usage guide.

Describe an alternate solution.

Hi @xiaofan-luan some clarifying questions

1. I see that we already have docker-compose.yaml files under https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/tree/master/deployments/docker
   Do we want to use existing docker-compose.yaml files? or write a new one? I found docker compose files related to dev and standalone but nothing related to cluster.
2. Also, should we create a new folder under https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/tree/master/deployments for docker swarm instructions or under https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/tree/master/deployments/docker ?

2. ould we create a new folder under https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/tree/master/deployments

Hi @reetasingh,

1. The dockercompose.yaml is maintained by maintainers and I believe it would be a good start to use existing docker-compose.yaml. But current docker compose is only for standalone cluster I guess. For distributed we only support helm and K8s Operator.

2. I prefer to have a new depolyments. current docker deployment I believe only support standalone

i would like have a docker swarm cluster support

From my previous knowledge, the key challenge of docker swarm is network.

I'm not an expert in docker swarm but @zwd1208 might be able to help
