Here we show how suricate can be run using giantswarm.io. Giant Swarm is a cool solution to run your containerized app in the cloud. Especially the environment & companies concept makes it a compelling solution to do your devops.

Setup swarm command and log-in:

$ swarm login

Create a company & switch to a dev environment:

$ swarm company create engjoy
$ swarm env engjoy/dev

Login, build the image (use this Dockerfile) and push it up:

$ sudo docker login https://registry.giantswarm.io
$ sudo docker build -t registry.giantswarm.io/engjoy/suricate:1.1 .
$ sudo docker push registry.giantswarm.io/engjoy/suricate:1.1

Pretty straight forward - very similar to how you would write a docker-compose file. See the references for all the details.

$ cat swarm.json
...

Note that we have not take into account auto-scaling etc. This is just a single user dev environment. It is recommend to use TLS & sth like oauth2 to make suricate multi-tenant and more secure.

$ swarm up
$ swarm status suricate
$ swarm stats <instance id>

Now you can visit the URL provided too you to access suricate.

To tear it down & cleanup:

$ swarm stop
$ swarm delete
