    ' Swarm mode is intendet to run containers which serve a non terminating
    ' service like a webserver. For processing an occuring job it is necessary
    ' to use a one-shot container, which stops after the wrapped job process is
    ' completly executed. In order to run these one-shot containers in Swarm
    ' mode, the following run method is implemented analog to the presented
    ' implementation in Alex Ellis' blog post "One-shot containers on Docker
    ' Swarm"¹.
