Description
According to Docker service docs templates are only supported in 3 flags:
- hostname
- mount
- env
It would be great to have templates also supported in labels. This would enable for example individual host URLs per node when using Traefik as reverse proxy:
whoami:
image: traefik/whoami:v1.8
networks:
- proxy
deploy:
mode: global
labels:
- traefik.http.routers.whoami.rule=Host(`{{.Node.Hostname}}-whoami.example.com`)
A lot of configuration is based on labels these days, so this would really be helpful for Docker user.
Related issues that would make this feature request even more useful:
Moby: Provide .Node.Labels in service templating
SwarmKit: docker service create template support for Node labels
For reference, I originally opened issue #44981 with moby/moby

Research direction
Start with the Docker service templating documentation and compare the existing hostname, mount, and env template support with how service labels are handled. Use the Traefik example as the acceptance case: label values should support expressions such as {{.Node.Hostname}} when creating a service.
