Swagger Editor on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Swagger Editor is a full featured, open source editor for designing OpenAPI and Swagger API definitions that runs entirely in the browser. You write your specification in YAML or JSON in one pane and see the live rendered Swagger UI documentation, complete with request and response models and example values, update beside it in real time, while inline validation catches schema errors as you type. Because the editor is client side, your API definitions live in your browser and on your own device rather than on the server, which makes self hosting a natural fit for teams that want a private, in house place to author and review API contracts.

This cloudimg image serves the official swagger-editor-dist v4.14.8 distribution, which is the prebuilt, ready to serve build of Swagger Editor and the exact content the official Swagger Editor container serves. The distribution is pinned by exact version and verified against a checksum at build time, and the upstream Apache 2.0 licence and notice are vendored into the served root. nginx terminates HTTPS on port 443 with a certificate that is generated uniquely per virtual machine on first boot, port 80 redirects to HTTPS, and an unauthenticated health endpoint is provided for load balancer probes.

Swagger Editor is a pure static web app: there is no application server, no database and no login, so there is no admin console and no default credential of any kind, and the only per virtual machine secret is the self signed TLS key. Because the editor has no access control of its own, restrict inbound access with your network security group or an authenticating proxy before exposing it beyond a trusted network; the paired deployment guide shows how. The image ships with the latest security patches applied at build time and stays current through unattended upgrades.

Swagger Editor is free and open source under the Apache License 2.0. cloudimg provides 24/7 commercial support with a guaranteed 24 hour response SLA, separate from the upstream project, and the cloudimg charge covers packaging, security patching, image maintenance and support.
