      --format string         Pretty-print services using a Go template
      --help                  Print usage
      --kubeconfig string     Kubernetes config file
      --namespace string      Kubernetes namespace to use

## Description

Lists the services that are running as part of the specified stack.

> **Note**

> This is a cluster management command, and must be executed on a swarm
> manager node. To learn about managers and workers, refer to the
> [Swarm mode section](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/) in the
> documentation.

## Examples

The following command shows all services in the `myapp` stack:

```bash
$ docker stack services myapp

ID            NAME            REPLICAS  IMAGE                                                                          COMMAND
7be5ei6sqeye  myapp_web       1/1       nginx@sha256:23f809e7fd5952e7d5be065b4d3643fbbceccd349d537b62a123ef2201bc886f
dn7m7nhhfb9y  myapp_db        1/1       mysql@sha256:a9a5b559f8821fe73d58c3606c812d1c044868d42c63817fa5125fd9d8b7b539
```

### Filtering

The filtering flag (`-f` or `--filter`) format is a `key=value` pair. If there
is more than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g. `--filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz"`).
Multiple filter flags are combined as an `OR` filter.

The following command shows both the `web` and `db` services:

```bash
$ docker stack services --filter name=myapp_web --filter name=myapp_db myapp

ID            NAME            REPLICAS  IMAGE                                                                          COMMAND
7be5ei6sqeye  myapp_web       1/1       nginx@sha256:23f809e7fd5952e7d5be065b4d3643fbbceccd349d537b62a123ef2201bc886f
dn7m7nhhfb9y  myapp_db        1/1       mysql@sha256:a9a5b559f8821fe73d58c3606c812d1c044868d42c63817fa5125fd9d8b7b539
```

The currently supported filters are:

* id / ID (`--filter id=7be5ei6sqeye`, or `--filter ID=7be5ei6sqeye`)
  * Swarm: supported
  * Kubernetes: not supported
* label (`--filter label=key=value`)
  * Swarm: supported
  * Kubernetes: supported
* mode (`--filter mode=replicated`, or `--filter mode=global`)
  * Swarm: not supported
  * Kubernetes: supported
* name (`--filter name=myapp_web`)
  * Swarm: supported
  * Kubernetes: supported
* node (`--filter node=mynode`)
  * Swarm: not supported
  * Kubernetes: supported
* service (`--filter service=web`)
  * Swarm: not supported
  * Kubernetes: supported

### Formatting

The formatting options (`--format`) pretty-prints services output
using a Go template.

Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

Placeholder | Description
------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------
`.ID`       | Service ID
`.Name`     | Service name
`.Mode`     | Service mode (replicated, global)
`.Replicas` | Service replicas
`.Image`    | Service image

When using the `--format` option, the `stack services` command will either
output the data exactly as the template declares or, when using the
`table` directive, includes column headers as well.

The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the
`ID`, `Mode`, and `Replicas` entries separated by a colon (`:`) for all services:

```bash
$ docker stack services --format "{{.ID}}: {{.Mode}} {{.Replicas}}"

0zmvwuiu3vue: replicated 10/10
fm6uf97exkul: global 5/5
```
