Phase 2: Multi-node with Docker Swarm (v2.0 - v2.2)

Allow connecting multiple VPS from a single panel.

Node management

• Instructions for joining new nodes

Server-to-node assignment

• Node selector when creating server
• "Automatic" (wherever resources are available)
• Specific node selection
• By label (e.g., "only nodes with SSD")

Technical changes

• IOrchestrator interface abstraction
• LocalOrchestrator (current Docker Compose)
• SwarmOrchestrator (new)
• OrchestratorFactory (decides which to use)
