Swift HTTP Server

Simple HTTP implementation for Swift using POSIX socket API. Running on Mac OS X and Linux.

For Mac users: You can install new Swift compiler following this instruction then you will be able to build the code directly on your Xcode.

Run the following command to compile the source:

swift build

After successfully compile, run the server with:

.build/debug/example

Now, go to http://localhost:8080 to test, the response should be: Hello World

Go to docker folder and run build.sh to build swiftbox image

cd docker
./build.sh

Run new container from swiftbox image, mount your working directory and expose the port:

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -v /path/to/your/host/working/folder:/src swiftbox

Now you can go to /src folder, which linked to your /path/to/your/host/working/folder to start using:

cd /src
swift build

Create new ubuntu container, don't forget to expose port 8080 or whatever you want, to test the HTTP server

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -v /path/to/your/host/working/folder:/src ubuntu

When you're in the new created ubuntu container, install some dependencies with apt-get:

apt-get update && apt-get install wget build-essential clang rsync libpython-all-dev libedit-dev libicu52 libxml2-dev

Now, download the latest Swift release for Linux:

wget https://swift.org/builds/ubuntu1404/swift-2.2-SNAPSHOT-2015-12-10-a/swift-2.2-SNAPSHOT-2015-12-10-a-ubuntu14.04.tar.gz

Extract the downloaded zip:

tar xzf swift-2.2-SNAPSHOT-2015-12-10-a-ubuntu14.04.tar.gz

Use rsync to move all the packages to your /usr folder:

rsync -a -v swift-2.2-SNAPSHOT-2015-12-10-a-ubuntu14.04/usr/ /usr

You can delete the downloaded files (optional):

rm -rf swift-2.2-SNAPSHOT-2015-12-10-a-ubuntu14.04*

Now, you have Swift installed, test it with the following command:

swift --version
