Playing with dockerizing Swift for Raspberry Pi.

Inspired by

[uraimo/buildSwiftOnARM](https://github.com/uraimo/buildSwiftOnARM).

Also note the companion project:

[swift-mac2arm-x-compile-toolchain](https://github.com/AlwaysRightInstitute/swift-mac2arm-x-compile-toolchain),

a cross compiler toolchain which allows you to build Raspi Swift binaries

on macOS (and the reverse for the fun of it!).

### Running Swift w/ Docker on macOS

Works:

```shell

docker run --rm  helje5/rpi-swift swift --version

Swift version 3.1 (swift-3.1-RELEASE)

Target: armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

```

There is also an image which includes Emacs, vi, etc:

```shell

docker run -it --rm  helje5/rpi-swift-dev bash

```

Note that the REPL doesn't work on the Raspi.

DockerHub:

- [rpi-swift](https://hub.docker.com/r/helje5/rpi-swift/)

- [rpi-swift-dev](https://hub.docker.com/r/helje5/rpi-swift-dev/) 

  (w/ Emacs/vi/etc)

  

Want to run Server Side Swift on a Raspberry Pi? Use

[mod_swift](http://mod-swift.org/raspberrypi/).

#### Versions

As of 2018-04-05 the latest working Swift version for Raspi is Swift 3.1.1.

We do provide a docker image for 4.1.0. It basically works, but isn't stable

(e.g. crashes on some operations). It also doesn't include the Swift Package

Manager.

### Setup Raspi w/ Docker and remote-control it from macOS

Moved to Wiki:

- [Setup Docker on Raspi](https://github.com/helje5/dockSwiftOnARM/wiki/Setup-Docker-on-Raspi)

- [Remote Control Raspi Docker from Mac](https://github.com/helje5/dockSwiftOnARM/wiki/Remote-Control-Raspi-Docker) (via docker-machine)

### Building Swift w/ Docker on macOS

Moved to Wiki:

- [Building Swift in a Docker container](https://github.com/helje5/dockSwiftOnARM/wiki/Building-Swift-with--Docker) (either on a real Raspi or in macOS Docker QEmu)

### Status

No idea, still investigating this :-)

### Who

Brought to you by

[Helge Heß](https://helgehess.eu).

We like 

[feedback](https://twitter.com/ar_institute), 

GitHub stars, 

cool [contract work](http://zeezide.com/en/services/services.html),

presumably any form of praise you can think of.

We don't like people who are wrong.

There is the [swift-arm](https://slackpass.io/swift-arm) Slack channel

if you have questions about running Swift on ARM/Raspberry Pi.
