A docker image to allow the launch of container in docker swarm, with options normally unavailable to swarm mode
The image uses docker-compose
to start a new project (see LAUNCH_PROJECT_NAME
). You can either use the environment variables to configure the service started inside, or you can supply your own /docker-compose.yml
file.
Either way, swarm-launcher
takes care of the setup, tear-down and cleanup of the project.
See Docs and Usage Examples
docker build -t swarm-launcher .
The following environment variables are important, if you plan on using a private repository:
Variable |
---|
LOGIN_USER |
LOGIN_PASSWORD |
LOGIN_REGISTRY |
The following environment variables are important if you don't supply a /docker-compose.yml
file in the swarm-launcher container:
Variable | Default | Mandatory | Description |
---|---|---|---|
LAUNCH_IMAGE |
- | YES | The image for the container |
LAUNCH_PROJECT_NAME |
swarm-launcher |
NO | If you want to use a specific name for the project (similar to the stack name) |
LAUNCH_SERVICE_NAME |
random (by swarm-launcher) | NO | If you want to use a specific name for the service |
LAUNCH_CONTAINER_NAME |
random (by docker) | NO | If you want to use a specific name for the container (similar to the task name) |
LAUNCH_PRIVILEGED |
false |
NO | Set this to true if you want to start a privileged container |
LAUNCH_ENVIRONMENTS |
- | NO | Space separated list of Key=Value pairs. Note: @_@ gets replaced with a single whitespace, so you can expose environment values containing spaces. |
LAUNCH_DEVICES |
- | NO | Space separated list of DeviceOnHost:DeviceInContainer |
LAUNCH_VOLUMES |
- | NO | Space separated list of File/FolderOnHost:File/FolderInContainer |
LAUNCH_HOST_NETWORK |
false |
NO | Set this to true to start the container on the host network. This option is not compatible with LAUNCH_PORTS , LAUNCH_NETWORKS and LAUNCH_EXT_NETWORKS |
LAUNCH_PORTS |
- | NO | Space separated list of PortOnHost:PortInContainer |
LAUNCH_NETWORKS |
- | NO | Space separated list of project networks to create. All networks are created with attachable: true |
LAUNCH_EXT_NETWORKS |
- | NO | Space separated list of external networks to attach to |
LAUNCH_CAP_ADD |
- | NO | Space separated list of capabilities to add |
LAUNCH_CAP_DROP |

`LAUNCH_SECURITY_OPT | - | NO | Space separated list of security options to add |
LAUNCH_LABELS |
ai.ix.started-by=ix.ai/swarm-launcher |

LAUNCH_CGROUP_PARENT |
- | NO | A string that specify the parent cgroup for the container |
LAUNCH_STOP_GRACE_PERIOD |
