Docker Compose is great. Avoid Docker Swarm.

May I ask why? Thinking about using it on a production cluster of two nodes for easy orchestration.
I had a lot of networking issues a few years ago, while Rancher (before it was based on Kubernetes) or Kubernetes did not on the same hardware.
Can you explain why you think so? I'm curious cos I was experimenting with this recently
To be honest I havn't touched it since a few years, and it doesn't seem to be used much since. The networking was simply bad by design, you would get a lot of weird network issues while Kubernetes or Rancher (before Rancher ran on Kubernetes) would not.
Got it, I'll keep an eye out for these issues. Thank you.
