Anyone out there working with Docker swarm where applications need to
access a shared filesystem across the swarm? I know how to link containers
together inside a host, but I don't think you can link to a container on a
different host.

Specifically I'm looking at taking some forums and WordPress sites and
moving them from single-host containers into Swarm services, without
disrupting the ability to do file uploads for attachments, user avatars,
etc.

I saw some references to running a Gluster swarm and using those as a
container, but I haven't found much in the way of detail on that. Flocker
looks interesting, but doesn't seem like it handles all the cases that I'm
looking for. Or maybe I should just look at creating a replicated
filesystem across the Docker host servers and then pointing the Swarm
containers at subdirectories off of that shared filesystem. I'm sure it has
to be a known issue, but with Swarm being so new, it's hard to find a lot
of documentation around this scenario right now... or at least, trying to
sift through the noise to find the signal.

Thanks!
