Looking to see if there is a way to do certain Docker Data Center configuration via a configuration file or API method?

- DTR integration
- Authentication
- Swarm mode (in UCP 2.0.0)

Thanks!

Hi pennacook,

At the moment, there is no public UCP API, although that is something we are looking at for the future. However, UCP utilizes the standard Docker API, which means that all swarm mode commands will work against the UCP cluster (whether deploying services via `docker service` or adding nodes with `docker swarm join`, as well as cluster configuration). You can also install UCP and DTR via manual scripting of CLI commands as well.
