 ## Private swarms inside Docker
 
 It is possible to initialize the container with a swarm key file (`/data/ipfs/swarm.key`) using the variables `IPFS_SWARM_KEY` and `IPFS_SWARM_KEY_FILE`. The `IPFS_SWARM_KEY` creates `swarm.key` with the contents of the variable itself, while `IPFS_SWARM_KEY_FILE` copies the key from a path stored in the variable. The `IPFS_SWARM_KEY_FILE` **overwrites** the key generated by `IPFS_SWARM_KEY`.
 
 ```shell
-docker run -d --name ipfs_host -e IPFS_SWARM_KEY=<your swarm key> -v $ipfs_staging:/export -v $ipfs_data:/data/ipfs -p 4001:4001 -p 4001:4001/udp -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 -p 127.0.0.1:5001:5001 ipfs/kubo:v0.39.0

 ```
 
 The swarm key initialization can also be done using docker secrets, and requires `docker swarm` or `docker-compose`:
 
 ```shell
 cat your_swarm.key | docker secret create swarm_key_secret -
-docker run -d --name ipfs_host --secret swarm_key_secret -e IPFS_SWARM_KEY_FILE=/run/secrets/swarm_key_secret -v $ipfs_staging:/export -v $ipfs_data:/data/ipfs -p 4001:4001 -p 4001:4001/udp -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 -p 127.0.0.1:5001:5001 ipfs/kubo:v0.39.0
