Examples

The following command shows all stacks and some additional information:

$ docker stack ls

ID                 SERVICES            ORCHESTRATOR
myapp              2                   Kubernetes
vossibility-stack  6                   Swarm

Format the output (--format)

The formatting option (--format) pretty-prints stacks using a Go template.

Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

Placeholder Description
.Name Stack name
.Services Number of services
.Orchestrator Orchestrator name
.Namespace Namespace

When using the --format option, the stack ls command either outputs 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 Name and Services entries separated by a colon (:) for all stacks:

$ docker stack ls --format "{{.Name}}: {{.Services}}"
web-server: 1
web-cache: 4

To list all stacks in JSON format, use the json directive:

$ docker stack ls --format json
{"Name":"myapp","Namespace":"","Orchestrator":"Swarm","Services":"3"}
