I'm trying to use NSQ in Docker Swarm without success
mhlg/rpi-nsq is a Docker image built for the Raspberry Pi ARM7 board and I can confirm is working correctly if run as a normal Docker container
Running NSQ in Docker (OK)
# crete a bridged network
$ docker network create nsq_network
# run lookupd
$ docker run --name nsqlookupd --network nsq_network -p 4160:4160 -p 4161:4161 mhlg/rpi-nsq nsqlookupd
# run nsqd
$ docker run --name nsqd --network nsq_network -p 4150:4150 -p 4151:4151 mhlg/rpi-nsq nsqd --broadcast-address=nsqd --lookupd-tcp-address=nsqlookupd:4160
# run nsqadmin
$ docker run --name nsqadmin --network nsq_network -p 4171:4171 mhlg/rpi-nsq nsqadmin --lookupd-http-address=nsqlookupd:4161
Running NSQ in Docker Swarm mode (FAIL) this is what I'm doing in the swarm manager
# crete an overlay network
$ docker network create nsq_network
# run nsqlookupd
$ docker service create --replicas 1 --name nsqlookupd --network nsq_network -p 4160:4160 -p 4161:4161 mhlg/rpi-nsq nsqlookupd
# run nsqd
$ docker service create --replicas 1 --name nsqd --network nsq_network -p 4150:4150 -p 4151:4151 mhlg/rpi-nsq nsqd --lookupd-tcp-address=nsqlookupd:4160 --broadcast-address=nsqd
# run nsqadmin
$ docker service create --replicas 1 --name nsqadmin --network nsq_network -p 4171:4171 mhlg/rpi-nsq nsqadmin --lookupd-http-address=nsqlookupd:4161
If I attach to the nsqd service I can see it is not able to connect to nsqlookupd service.

It looks like the overlay network create some issues (multicast?) but I can not figure how I can solve it especially on an ARM device.
I tried to ssh into the Docker Host running the nsqd service and exec some dns commands from inside the nsqd container
