Just copy the swirl binary and config/assets/views directories to the host, and run it.

./swirl

Docker

• 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=localhost:27017/swirl \
    --name=swirl \
    cuigh/swirl

Docker swarm

• 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=localhost:27017/swirl \
  --constraint=node.role==manager \
  --mount=type=bind,src=/var/run/docker.sock,dst=/var/run/docker.sock \
  cuigh/swirl
