Getting Started

Run Swift REPL

# Swift REPL requires kernel capabilities thus the container have to run in privileged mode. See SR-54
docker run -it --privileged lxcid/swift

FAQ

Fail to run swift with the following error: error: failed to launch REPL process: process launch failed: 'A' packet returned an error: 8.

Swift REPL seems to requires access to kernel capabilities that docker dropped by default. Run your container with --privileged will resolve this issue.
