It would be nice to also configure the agent to use a socket proxy like the main app can: Swarmpits behavior can be reconfigured via Environment Variables. SWARMPIT_DOCKER_SOCK Docker SOCK location used by docker client. In case of socket proxy use following format: http://TCPENDPOINT:2375. Default is /var/run/docker.sock. Thanks in advance, also for any hints, ideas, considersations in the meantime :)
