## Description

Create and update a stack from a `compose` file on the swarm.

> **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

### <a name="compose-file"></a> Compose file (--compose-file)

The `deploy` command supports compose file version `3.0` and above.

```console
$ docker stack deploy --compose-file docker-compose.yml vossibility

Ignoring unsupported options: links

Creating network vossibility_vossibility
Creating network vossibility_default
Creating service vossibility_nsqd
Creating service vossibility_logstash
Creating service vossibility_elasticsearch
Creating service vossibility_kibana
Creating service vossibility_ghollector
Creating service vossibility_lookupd
```

The Compose file can also be provided as standard input with `--compose-file -`:

```console
$ cat docker-compose.yml | docker stack deploy --compose-file - vossibility

Ignoring unsupported options: links

Creating network vossibility_vossibility
Creating network vossibility_default
Creating service vossibility_nsqd
Creating service vossibility_logstash
Creating service vossibility_elasticsearch
Creating service vossibility_kibana
Creating service vossibility_ghollector
Creating service vossibility_lookupd
```

If your configuration is split between multiple Compose files, e.g. a base
configuration and environment-specific overrides, you can provide multiple
`--compose-file` flags.

```console
$ docker stack deploy --compose-file docker-compose.yml -c docker-compose.prod.yml vossibility

Ignoring unsupported options: links

Creating network vossibility_vossibility
Creating network vossibility_default
Creating service vossibility_nsqd
Creating service vossibility_logstash
Creating service vossibility_elasticsearch
Creating service vossibility_kibana
Creating service vossibility_ghollector
Creating service vossibility_lookupd
```

You can verify that the services were correctly created:

```console
$ docker service ls
