What is Swift?

Swift is a high-performance system programming language. It has a clean and modern syntax, offers seamless access to existing C and Objective-C code and frameworks, and is memory safe by default.

Although inspired by Objective-C and many other languages, Swift is not itself a C-derived language. As a complete and independent language, Swift packages core features like flow control, data structures, and functions, with high-level constructs like objects, protocols, closures, and generics. Swift embraces modules, eliminating the need for headers and the code duplication they entail.

To learn more about the programming language, visit swift.org.

How to use this image

Start a REPL

Swift requires a little bit of extra security privilege to run the REPL. The following command creates an ephemeral container, attaches your terminal to it and starts the Swift REPL. A great way to try out pre-release builds!

docker run --cap-add sys_ptrace -it --rm winamd64/swift swift
Pull the Docker Image From Docker Hub:
docker pull winamd64/swift
Create a Container from the Image and Attach It:
docker run  -it --name swiftfun winamd64/swift /bin/bash
To Start and Attach Your Image Later:

Start your image with name swiftfun

docker start swiftfun

and then attach it

docker attach swiftfun

Image Variants

The winamd64/swift images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.

winamd64/swift:<version>

This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as well as the base to build other images off of.

winamd64/swift:<version>-windowsservercore

This image is based on Windows Server Core (microsoft/windowsservercore). As such, it only works in places which that image does, such as Windows 10 Professional/Enterprise (Anniversary Edition) or Windows Server 2016.

For information about how to get Docker running on Windows, please see the relevant "Quick Start" guide provided by Microsoft:
