Swirl is a web management tool for Docker, focused on swarm cluster.

Warning: v1.0+ is not fully compatible with previous versions, it is recommended to redeploy instead of upgrading directly.

• Swarm components management
• Image and container management
• Compose management with deployment support
• Service monitoring based on Prometheus and cadvisor
• Service auto scaling
• LDAP authentication support
• Full permission control based on RBAC model
• Scale out as you want
• Multiple language support
• And more...

All options can be set with config/app.yml.

Only these options can be set by environment variables for now.

Docker support mounting configuration file through swarm from v17.06, so you can store your config in swarm and mount it to your program.

Swirl support two storage engines now: mongo and bolt. bolt is suitable for development environment, Swirl can only deploy one replica if you use bolt storage engine.

Just copy the swirl binary and config directory to the host, and run it.

./swirl

• Use bolt storage engine

docker run -d -p 8001:8001 \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    -v /data/swirl:/data/swirl \
    -e DB_TYPE=bolt \
    -e DB_ADDRESS=/data/swirl \
    --name=swirl \
    cuigh/swirl

• Use MongoDB storage engine

docker run -d -p 8001:8001 \
    --mount type=bind,src=/var/run/docker.sock,dst=/var/run/docker.sock \
    -e DB_TYPE=mongo \
    -e DB_ADDRESS=mongodb://localhost:27017/swirl \
    --name=swirl \
    cuigh/swirl

• Use bolt storage engine

docker service create \
  --name=swirl \
  --publish=8001:8001/tcp \
  --env DB_TYPE=bolt \
  --env DB_ADDRESS=/data/swirl \
  --constraint=node.hostname==manager1 \
  --mount=type=bind,src=/var/run/docker.sock,dst=/var/run/docker.sock \
  --mount=type=bind,src=/data/swirl,dst=/data/swirl \
  cuigh/swirl

• Use MongoDB storage engine

docker service create \
  --name=swirl \
  --publish=8001:8001/tcp \
  --env DB_ADDRESS=mongodb://localhost:27017/swirl \
  --constraint=node.role==manager \
  --mount=type=bind,src=/var/run/docker.sock,dst=/var/run/docker.sock \
  cuigh/swirl

docker stack deploy -c compose.yml swirl
