How to open local files in Swagger-UI

Question

I\'m trying to open my self generated swagger specification file my.json with swagger-ui on my local computer.

So I downloaded the latest tag v2.1.8-M1

Yet another option is to run swagger using docker, you can use this docker image:

https://hub.docker.com/r/madscientist/swagger-ui/

I made this ghetto little BASH script to kill running containers and rebuild, so basically each time you make a change to your spec and want to see it, just run the script. Make sure to put the name of your application in the APP_NAME variable

#!/bin/bash

# Replace my_app with your application name
APP_NAME="my_app"

# Clean up old containers and images
old_containers=$(docker ps -a | grep $APP_NAME | awk '{ print $1 }')
old_images=$(docker images | grep $APP_NAME | awk '{ print $3 }')

if [[ $old_containers ]];
    then
        echo "Stopping old containers: $old_containers"
        docker stop $old_containers
        echo "Removing old containers: $old_containers"
        docker rm $old_containers
fi

if [[ $old_images ]];
    then
        echo "Removing stale images"
        docker rmi $old_images
fi

# Create new image
echo "Creating new image for $APP_NAME"
docker build . -t $APP_NAME

# Run container
echo "Running container with image $APP_NAME"
docker run -d --name $APP_NAME -p 8888:8888 $APP_NAME
echo "Check out your swaggery goodness here:
