+### Using Docker Swarm
+
+Here are some examples of using this image with Docker Swarm. These examples leverage additional features of Docker Swarm such as Docker secrets, and Docker configs. As such, these examples require Docker to be in swarm mode.
+
+You can read more about these features and Docker swarm mode here:
+
+-	[Docker swarm mode](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/)
+-	[Creating Docker secrets](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/secret_create/)
+-	[Creating Docker configs](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/config_create/)
+
+#### MySQL Example
+
+This example presupposes the existence of the Docker secrets `xwiki-db-username`, `xwiki-db-password` and `xwiki-db-root-password`, and the Docker config `xwiki-mysql-config`.
+
+You can create these secrets and configs with the following:
+
+-	`echo ${MY_XWIKI_USER:-xwiki} | docker secret create xwiki-db-username -`
+-	`echo $(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 16 | head -n 1) | docker secret create xwiki-db-password -`
+-	`echo $(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 16 | head -n 1) | docker secret create xwiki-db-root-password -`
+-	`docker config create xwiki-mysql-config /path/to/mysql/xwiki.cnf`
+
+To deploy this example, save the following YAML as `xwiki-stack.yaml`, then run:
+
+-	`docker stack deploy -c xwiki-stack.yaml xwiki`
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.3'
+services:
+  web:

 ## Building

 -	`DB_HOST`: The name of the host (or docker container) containing the database. Default is "db".

 The main XWiki configuration files (`xwiki.cfg`, `xwiki.properties` and `hibernate.cfg.xml`) are available in the mapped local directory for the permanent directory on your host.
 
 If you need to perform some advanced configuration, you can execute another container and attach to the running XWiki container by issuing (but note that these won't be saved if you remove the container):
