What it is
Swarmpit is described as a lightweight, AI-friendly interface for managing a Docker Swarm cluster. It exposes management for stacks, services, secrets, volumes, and networks, and offers a REST API and an MCP server for automation and client integration.
How it works
The UI actions are exposed via a REST API (Swagger docs at /api-docs on any running instance). It can be integrated with an MCP server for automating deployments. The project uses CouchDB for data persistence and InfluxDB for cluster statistics depending on stack configuration. Swarmpit is designed to be self-hosted and does not collect metrics by default.
Getting started
Environment: Docker is the sole dependency; Swarm must be initialized. Supported Docker versions start from 1.13. The README provides deployment options:
- Stable version:
docker run -it --rm \
--name swarmpit-installer \
--volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
swarmpit/install:1.9
- Edge version:
docker run -it --rm \
--name swarmpit-installer \
--volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
swarmpit/install:edge
Manual installation via docker stack deploy using a compose file from the repo:
git clone https://github.com/swarmpit/swarmpit -b master
docker stack deploy -c swarmpit/docker-compose.yml swarmpit
For ARM:
git clone https://github.com/swarmpit/swarmpit -b master
docker stack deploy -c swarmpit/docker-compose.arm.yml swarmpit
The stack includes app, agent, couchDB, and influxdb services; defaults indicate Swarmpit is published on port 888 by default.
