+# Swarms Docker Image
+
+This repository includes a Docker image for running Swarms, an AI agent framework. The image is automatically built and published to DockerHub on every push to the main branch and on version tags.
+
+## 🐳 Quick Start
+
+### Pull and Run
+
+```bash
+# Pull the latest image
+docker pull kyegomez/swarms:latest
+
+# Run a simple test
+docker run --rm kyegomez/swarms:latest python test_docker.py
+
+# Run with interactive shell
+docker run -it --rm kyegomez/swarms:latest bash
+```
+
+### Using Specific Versions
+
+```bash
+# Pull a specific version
+docker pull kyegomez/swarms:v8.0.4
+
+# Run with specific version
+docker run --rm kyegomez/swarms:v8.0.4 python -c "import swarms; print(swarms.__version__)"
+```
+
+## 🏗️ Building Locally
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Docker installed on your system
+- Git to clone the repository
+
+### Build Steps
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/kyegomez/swarms.git
+cd swarms
+
+# Build the image
+docker build -t swarms:latest .
+
+# Test the image
+docker run --rm swarms:latest python test_docker.py
+```
+
+## 🚀 Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Agent Example
+
+```bash
+# Create a Python script (agent_example.py)
+cat > agent_example.py << 'EOF'
+from swarms import Agent
+
+# Create an agent
+agent = Agent(
+    agent_name="test_agent",
+    system_prompt="You are a helpful AI assistant."
+)
+
+# Run the agent
+result = agent.run("Hello! How are you today?")
+print(result)
+EOF
+
+# Run in Docker
+docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app swarms:latest python /app/agent_example.py
+```
+
+### Interactive Development
+
+```bash
+# Run with volume mount for development
+docker run -it --rm \
+  -v $(pwd):/app \
+  -w /app \
+  swarms:latest bash
+
+# Inside the container, you can now run Python scripts
+python your_script.py
+```
+
+### Using Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Run with environment variables
+docker run --rm \
+  -e OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here \
+  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_key_here \
+  swarms:latest python your_script.py
+```
+
+## 🔧 Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+The Docker image supports the following environment variables:
+
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY`: Your OpenAI API key
+- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`: Your Anthropic API key
+- `GOOGLE_API_KEY`: Your Google API key
+- `PYTHONPATH`: Additional Python path entries
+- `PYTHONUNBUFFERED`: Set to 1 for unbuffered output
+
+### Volume Mounts
+
+Common volume mount patterns:
+
+```bash
+# Mount current directory for development
+-v $(pwd):/app
+
+# Mount specific directories
+-v $(pwd)/data:/app/data
+-v $(pwd)/models:/app/models
+
+# Mount configuration files
+-v $(pwd)/config:/app/config
+```
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Permission Denied**
+   ```bash
+   # Fix permission issues
+   docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app:rw swarms:latest python your_script.py
+   ```
+
+2. **Memory Issues**

+   # Use host network
+   docker run --rm --network=host swarms:latest python your_script.py
+   ```
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+```bash
+# Run with debug output
+docker run --rm -e PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 swarms:latest python -u your_script.py
+
+# Run with interactive debugging
+docker run -it --rm swarms:latest python -m pdb your_script.py
+```
