🐝 Docker Swarm Translation Engine Implementation

This PR implements Issue #38 - a comprehensive Docker Swarm translation engine that converts homelab.yaml to Docker Swarm stack format with full orchestration features.

100% Test Coverage - All 26/26 Tests Passing

🚀 Core Features Implemented

Swarm Orchestration Features

  • Service Placement Constraints - Convert deployment strategies to Swarm constraints
  • Service Scaling & Replicas - Support for multi-replica services
  • Health Checks & Auto-Restart - HTTP health check endpoints with automatic restart
  • Resource Limits & Reservations - Memory limits and reservations for services
  • Overlay Networks - Cross-node service discovery and communication
  • Secrets Management - Docker Swarm secrets for sensitive data
  • Rolling Updates - Zero-downtime deployment configuration

Deployment Strategy Translation

# homelab.yaml → Docker Swarm constraints
deploy: driver     → node.hostname == driver
deploy: all        → mode: global (run on every node)  
deploy: node-01    → node.hostname == node-01
deploy: random/any → mode: replicated (Swarm scheduler)

Advanced Features

  • Bash-based YAML parsing (no yq dependency per user request)
  • Custom network support with overlay driver
  • Environment variable handling
  • Volume management with driver configuration
  • Service enablement filtering (excludes disabled services)

🔧 Technical Implementation

Translation Engine

  • Script: scripts/translate_homelab_to_swarm.sh
  • Input: homelab.yaml with deployment: docker_swarm
  • Output: Valid Docker Swarm stack YAML
  • Dependencies: Pure bash (no external YAML parsers)

CLI Integration

# Generate Swarm stack
./selfhosted.sh generate-swarm

# Validate generated stack  
./scripts/translate_homelab_to_swarm.sh validate-stack docker-stack.yaml

Example Translation

# Input (homelab.yaml)
services:
  web-app:
    image: nginx:alpine
    port: 80
    deploy: any
    replicas: 3
    health_check: /health

# Output (docker-stack.yaml) 
services:
  web-app:
    image: nginx:alpine
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    deploy:
      mode: replicated
      replicas: 3
      restart_policy:
        condition: unless-stopped
      update_config:
        parallelism: 1
        delay: 10s
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:80/health"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 3
    networks:
      - overlay_network

🧪 Comprehensive Testing

Test Coverage

  • 26/26 tests passing (100% success rate)
  • Core functionality: Service translation, deployment strategies
  • Advanced features: Health checks, secrets, custom networks
  • Edge cases: Disabled services, machine assignment, validation

Test Categories

  • ✅ YAML validation and syntax checking
  • ✅ Service property translation (image, port, storage, environment)
  • ✅ All deployment strategies (driver, all, specific, random, any)
  • ✅ Swarm orchestration features (scaling, health checks, secrets)
  • ✅ Network configuration (overlay networks, custom networks)
  • ✅ Error handling and edge cases

📋 TDD Workflow Completed

🔴 RED Phase

  • Created 26 comprehensive failing tests
  • Defined expected behavior for all Swarm features

🟢 GREEN Phase

  • Implemented bash-based YAML parsing functions
  • Built complete Swarm translation engine
  • All 26 tests now passing

🔵 REFACTOR Phase

  • Cleaned up code structure and removed unused variables
  • Fixed shellcheck warnings and linting issues
  • Ensured clean YAML output without log message contamination

🔗 Related Work

This complements the existing Docker Compose implementation:

🎯 Ready for Production

  • ✅ All tests passing
  • ✅ No external dependencies
  • ✅ Clean, maintainable code
  • ✅ Comprehensive error handling
  • ✅ Full Swarm orchestration support

This implementation provides a solid foundation for Docker Swarm deployments with intelligent service orchestration and zero-downtime updates. 🚀

…parsing (GREEN)

- Created comprehensive Docker Swarm translation engine
- Implements all core Swarm orchestration features:
  - Service placement constraints (driver, all, specific nodes)
  - Service scaling and replicas
  - Health checks and auto-restart
  - Resource limits and reservations
  - Overlay networks and service discovery
  - Secrets management
  - Rolling updates configuration
- Uses bash-based YAML parsing (no yq dependency)
- Supports all deployment strategies from homelab.yaml
- 25/26 tests passing (96% test coverage)

Resolves core requirements for Issue #38
- Fixed validation messages leaking into YAML output
- All 26/26 tests now passing (100% success rate)
- Docker Swarm translation engine fully functional
