Deploy a stack to a swarm — Deploy the stack to the swarm

Create the stack with docker stack deploy Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ docker stack deploy --compose-file compose.yaml stackdemo Ignoring unsupported options: build Creating network stackdemo_default Creating service stackdemo_web Creating service

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Create the stack with docker stack deploy Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ docker stack deploy --compose-file compose.yaml stackdemo Ignoring unsupported options: build Creating network stackdemo_default Creating service stackdemo_web Creating service stackdemo_redis ``` Check that it's running with docker stack services stackdemo Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ docker stack services stackdemo ID NAME MODE REPLICAS IMAGE orvjk2263y1p stackdemo_redis replicated 1/1 redis:3.2-alpine@sha256:f1ed3708f538b537eb9c2a7dd50dc90a706f7debd7e1196c9264edeea521a86d s1nf0xy8t1un stackdemo_web replicated 1/1 127.0.0.1:5000/stackdemo@sha256:adb070e0805d04ba2f92c724298370b7a4eb19860222120d43e0f6351ddbc26f ``` Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ curl http://localhost:8000 Hello World!

I have been seen 3 times. ``` Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ curl http://address-of-other-node:8000 Hello World! I have been seen 4 times. ``` Bring the stack down with docker stack rm Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ docker stack rm stackdemo Removing service stackdemo_web Removing service stackdemo_redis Removing network stackdemo_default ``` Bring the registry down with docker service rm Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ docker service rm registry ``` If you're just testing things out on a local machine and want to bring your Docker Engine out of Swarm mode, use docker swarm leave Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ docker swarm leave --force Node left the swarm. ``` Attribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
