Purpose
This tool provides a lightweight, mobile-friendly web interface for managing Docker Swarm clusters. It allows users to easily handle stacks, services, networks, and secrets while seamlessly integrating with Docker Hub or custom private registries.

Security Assessment
Overall Risk: Medium. The application requires mounting the Docker socket (`/var/run/docker.sock`), which grants it extensive root-level access to your host system's container orchestration. Because it is a self-hosted web UI managing infrastructure, it inherently executes Docker commands and interacts with the local network. The automated code scan checked 12 files and found no dangerous code patterns or hardcoded secrets, and the tool requests no special host permissions outside of standard Docker access.

Quality Assessment
The project demonstrates excellent health and high community trust. It is very actively maintained, with its most recent code push occurring today. The repository has garnered over 3,400 GitHub stars, indicating widespread adoption and community confidence. Furthermore, it operates under the EPL-1.0 license, which is a standard, OSI-approved open-source license.

Verdict
Safe to use, provided you understand the inherent security implications of granting a self-hosted container management tool direct access to your Docker socket.

Swarmpit provides simple and easy to use interface for your Docker Swarm cluster. You can manage your stacks, services, secrets, volumes, networks etc. After linking your Docker Hub account or custom registry, private repositories can be easily deployed on Swarm. Best of all, you can share this management console securely with your whole team.

Swarmpit doesn't compromise your privacy as it is completely self-hosted and will never gather any metrics or other data from you.

More details about future and past releases can be found in ROADMAP.md

Installation

The only dependency for Swarmpit deployment is Docker with Swarm initialized, we are supporting Docker 1.13 and newer. Linux hosts on x86 and ARM architectures are supported as well.

Package installer

Installer is your guide to setup Swarmpit platform. For more details see the installer

Stable version

Deploy our current milestone version

docker run -it --rm \
  --name swarmpit-installer \
  --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  swarmpit/install:1.9

Edge version

Deploy latest version for the brave and true

docker run -it --rm \
  --name swarmpit-installer \
  --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  swarmpit/install:edge

Manual installation

Deploy Swarmpit by using a compose file from our git repo with branch of corresponding version.

git clone https://github.com/swarmpit/swarmpit -b master
docker stack deploy -c swarmpit/docker-compose.yml swarmpit

For ARM based cluster use custom compose file.

git clone https://github.com/swarmpit/swarmpit -b master
docker stack deploy -c swarmpit/docker-compose.arm.yml swarmpit

This stack is a composition of 4 services:

  • app - Swarmpit
  • agent - Swarmpit agent
  • db - CouchDB (Application data)
  • influxdb - InfluxDB (Cluster statistics)

Feel free to edit the stackfile to change an application port and we strongly recommend to specify following volumes:

  • db-data
  • influxdb-data

to shared-volume driver type of your choice. Alternatively, you can link db service to the specific node by using constraint.

Swarmpit is published on port 888 by default.

Environment Variables

Refer to following document

User Configuration

By default Swarmpit offers you to configure first user using web interface. If you want to automate this process, you can use docker config to provide users.yaml file.

Refer to following document for details.

User Types

Refer to following document

Development

Swarmpit is written purely in Clojure and utilizes React on front-end. CouchDB is used to persist application data & InfluxDB for cluster statistics.

Everything about building, issue reporting and setting up development environment can be found in CONTRIBUTING.md

Demo

Try in PWD

Deploys Swarmpit to play-with-docker sandbox. Please wait few moments till application is up and running before accessing
port 888. Initialization might take a few seconds.
