[Help Needed] Lets Build a Cross Compiling Cluster In Linux Using distcc and dockerswarm

So far I have managed to get all the nodes online using a program called Stacki-docker. This allows you to deploy a Centos7 machine with docker-swarm preinstalled and setup.

This results in a setup as follows (Frontend Server):

stack list host
HOST        RACK RANK CPUS APPLIANCE BOX     ENVIRONMENT RUNACTION INSTALLACTION
stacki      0    0    8    frontend  default ----------- os        install
backend-0-0 0    0    8    backend   default ----------- os        install
backend-0-1 0    1    8    backend   default ----------- os        install
backend-0-2 0    2    8    backend   default ----------- os        install
backend-0-3 0    3    8    backend   default ----------- os        install
backend-0-4 0    4    8    backend   default ----------- os        install
backend-0-5 0    5    8    backend   default ----------- os        install
backend-0-6 0    6    8    backend   default ----------- os        install
backend-0-7 0    7    8    backend   default ----------- os        install
backend-0-8 0    8    8    backend   default ----------- os        install
backend-0-9 0    9    8    backend   default ----------- os        install

The hosts are on a private network 10.0.13.0/24 with a pfsense box on .1 and frontend at .2 for management, the host nodes are numbered descending from 254.

The plan is to setup a docker image running gentoo debian or alpine to host the distccd and the required compiler tools (gcc armv7 etc).

Some examples I've found:

https://hub.docker.com/r/jprjr/distcc-rpi/
https://hub.docker.com/r/tim03/distcc/
https://hub.docker.com/r/choldrim/distcc/

My question is that I see all of them are setup as indivdual containers on the single node, I want to install them as a service on all the nodes with the LAN port being the only external connection to the LAN from the VM.

What do y'all think the best route is forward from here?

So I've made some headway with a jenkins service but now I need to figure out how to add the slaves....
