To learn about managers and workers, refer to the > [Swarm mode section](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/) in the > documentation. ## Examples ### List the tasks that are part of a stack The following command shows all the tasks that are part of the `voting` stack: ```console $ docker stack ps voting ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENT STATE ERROR PORTS xim5bcqtgk1b voting_worker.1 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_worker:latest node2 Running Running 2 minutes ago q7yik0ks1in6 voting_result.1 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_result:before node1 Running Running 2 minutes ago rx5yo0866nfx voting_vote.1 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_vote:before node3 Running Running 2 minutes ago tz6j82jnwrx7 voting_db.1 postgres:9.4 node1 Running Running 2 minutes ago w48spazhbmxc voting_redis.1 redis:alpine node2 Running Running 3 minutes ago 6jj1m02freg1 voting_visualizer.1 dockersamples/visualizer:stable node1 Running Running 2 minutes ago kqgdmededccb voting_vote.2 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_vote:before node2 Running Running 2 minutes ago t72q3z038jeh voting_redis.2 redis:alpine node3 Running Running 3 minutes ago ``` ### 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. For example, `-f name=redis.1 -f name=redis.7` returns both `redis.1` and `redis.7` tasks. The currently supported filters are: * [id](#id) * [name](#name) * [node](#node) * [desired-state](#desired-state) #### id The `id` filter matches on all or a prefix of a task's ID. ```console $ docker stack ps -f "id=t" voting ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENTSTATE ERROR PORTS tz6j82jnwrx7 voting_db.1 postgres:9.4 node1 Running Running 14 minutes ago t72q3z038jeh voting_redis.2 redis:alpine node3 Running Running 14 minutes ago ``` #### name The `name` filter matches on task names. ```console $ docker stack ps -f "name=voting_redis" voting ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENTSTATE ERROR PORTS w48spazhbmxc voting_redis.1 redis:alpine node2 Running Running 17 minutes ago t72q3z038jeh voting_redis.2 redis:alpine node3 Running Running 17 minutes ago ``` #### node The `node` filter matches on a node name or a node ID. ```console $ docker stack ps -f "node=node1" voting ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENT STATE ERROR PORTS q7yik0ks1in6 voting_result.1 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_result:before node1 Running Running 18 minutes ago tz6j82jnwrx7 voting_db.1 postgres:9.4 node1 Running Running 18 minutes ago 6jj1m02freg1 voting_visualizer.1 dockersamples/visualizer:stable node1 Running Running 18 minutes ago ``` #### desired-state The `desired-state` filter can take the values `running`, `shutdown`, `ready` or `accepted`. ```console $ docker stack ps -f "desired-state=running" voting ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENT STATE ERROR PORTS xim5bcqtgk1b voting_worker.1 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_worker:latest node2 Running Running 21 minutes ago q7yik0ks1in6 voting_result.1 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_result:before node1 Running Running 21 minutes ago rx5yo0866nfx voting_vote.1 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_vote:before node3 Running Running 21 minutes ago tz6j82jnwrx7 voting_db.1 postgres:9.4 node1 Running Running 21 minutes ago w48spazhbmxc voting_redis.1 redis:alpine node2 Running Running 21 minutes ago 6jj1m02freg1 voting_visualizer.1 dockersamples/visualizer:stable node1 Running Running 21 minutes ago kqgdmededccb voting_vote.2 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_vote:before node2 Running Running 21 minutes ago t72q3z038jeh voting_redis.2 redis:alpine node3 Running Running 21 minutes ago ``` ### Formatting The formatting options (`--format`) pretty-prints tasks output using a Go template. Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below: | Placeholder | Description | |-----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------| | `.ID` | Task ID | | `.Name` | Task name | | `.Image` | Task image | | `.Node` | Node ID | | `.DesiredState` | Desired state of the task (`running`, `shutdown`, or `accepted`) | | `.CurrentState` | Current state of the task | | `.Error` | Error | | `.Ports` | Task published ports | When using the `--format` option, the `stack ps` 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 `Name` and `Image` entries separated by a colon (`:`) for all tasks: ```console $ docker stack ps --format "{{.Name}}: {{.Image}}" voting voting_worker.1: dockersamples/examplevotingapp_worker:latest voting_result.1: dockersamples/examplevotingapp_result:before voting_vote.1: dockersamples/examplevotingapp_vote:before voting_db.1: postgres:9.4 voting_redis.1: redis:alpine voting_visualizer.1: dockersamples/visualizer:stable voting_vote.2: dockersamples/examplevotingapp_vote:before voting_redis.2: redis:alpine ``` To list all tasks in JSON format, use the `json` directive: ```console $ docker stack ps --format json myapp {"CurrentState":"Preparing 23 seconds ago","DesiredState":"Running","Error":"","ID":"2ufjubh79tn0","Image":"localstack/localstack:latest","Name":"myapp_localstack.1","Node":"docker-desktop","Ports":""} {"CurrentState":"Running 20 seconds ago","DesiredState":"Running","Error":"","ID":"roee387ngf5r","Image":"redis:6.0.9-alpine3.12","Name":"myapp_redis.1","Node":"docker-desktop","Ports":""} {"CurrentState":"Preparing 13 seconds ago","DesiredState":"Running","Error":"","ID":"yte68ouq7glh","Image":"postgres:13.2-alpine","Name":"myapp_repos-db.1","Node":"docker-desktop","Ports":""} ``` ### Do not map IDs to Names The `--no-resolve` option shows IDs for task name, without mapping IDs to Names. ```console $ docker stack ps --no-resolve voting ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENT STATE ERROR PORTS xim5bcqtgk1b 10z9fjfqzsxnezo4hb81p8mqg.1 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_worker:latest qaqt4nrzo775jrx6detglho01 Running Running 30 minutes ago q7yik0ks1in6 hbxltua1na7mgqjnidldv5m65.1 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_result:before mxpaef1tlh23s052erw88a4w5 Running Running 30 minutes ago rx5yo0866nfx qyprtqw1g5nrki557i974ou1d.1 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_vote:before kanqcxfajd1r16wlnqcblobmm Running Running 31 minutes ago tz6j82jnwrx7 122f0xxngg17z52be7xspa72x.1 postgres:9.4 mxpaef1tlh23s052erw88a4w5 Running Running 31 minutes ago w48spazhbmxc tg61x8myx563ueo3urmn1ic6m.1 redis:alpine qaqt4nrzo775jrx6detglho01 Running Running 31 minutes ago 6jj1m02freg1 8cqlyi444kzd3panjb7edh26v.1 dockersamples/visualizer:stable mxpaef1tlh23s052erw88a4w5 Running Running 31 minutes ago kqgdmededccb qyprtqw1g5nrki557i974ou1d.2 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_vote:before qaqt4nrzo775jrx6detglho01 Running Running 31 minutes ago t72q3z038jeh tg61x8myx563ueo3urmn1ic6m.2 redis:alpine kanqcxfajd1r16wlnqcblobmm Running Running 31 minutes ago ``` ### Do not truncate output When deploying a service, docker resolves the digest for the service's image, and pins the service to that digest. The digest is not shown by default, but is printed if `--no-trunc` is used. The `--no-trunc` option also shows the non-truncated task IDs, and error-messages, as can be seen below: ```console $ docker stack ps --no-trunc voting ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURREN STATE ERROR PORTS xim5bcqtgk1bxqz91jzo4a1s5 voting_worker.1 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_worker:latest@sha256:3e4ddf59c15f432280a2c0679c4fc5a2ee5a797023c8ef0d3baf7b1385e9fed node2 Running Runnin 32 minutes ago q7yik0ks1in6kv32gg6y6yjf7 voting_result.1 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_result:before@sha256:83b56996e930c292a6ae5187fda84dd6568a19d97cdb933720be15c757b7463 node1 Running Runnin 32 minutes ago rx5yo0866nfxc58zf4irsss6n voting_vote.1 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_vote:before@sha256:8e64b182c87de902f2b72321c89b4af4e2b942d76d0b772532ff27ec4c6ebf6 node3 Running Runnin 32 minutes ago tz6j82jnwrx7n2offljp3mn03 voting_db.1 postgres:9.4@sha256:6046af499eae34d2074c0b53f9a8b404716d415e4a03e68bc1d2f8064f2b027 node1 Running Runnin 32 minutes ago w48spazhbmxcmbjfi54gs7x90 voting_redis.1 redis:alpine@sha256:9cd405cd1ec1410eaab064a1383d0d8854d1ef74a54e1e4a92fb4ec7bdc3ee7 node2 Running Runnin 32 minutes ago 6jj1m02freg1n3z9n1evrzsbl voting_visualizer.1 dockersamples/visualizer:stable@sha256:f924ad66c8e94b10baaf7bdb9cd491ef4e982a1d048a56a17e02bf5945401e5 node1 Running Runnin 32 minutes ago kqgdmededccbhz2wuc0e9hx7g voting_vote.2 dockersamples/examplevotingapp_vote:before@sha256:8e64b182c87de902f2b72321c89b4af4e2b942d76d0b772532ff27ec4c6ebf6 node2 Running Runnin 32 minutes ago t72q3z038jehe1wbh9gdum076 voting_redis.2 redis:alpine@sha256:9cd405cd1ec1410eaab064a1383d0d8854d1ef74a54e1e4a92fb4ec7bdc3ee7 node3 Running Runnin 32 minutes ago ``` ### Only display task IDs The `-q ` or `--quiet` option only shows IDs of the tasks in the stack. This example outputs all task IDs of the "voting" stack; ```console $ docker stack ps -q voting xim5bcqtgk1b q7yik0ks1in6 rx5yo0866nfx tz6j82jnwrx7 w48spazhbmxc 6jj1m02freg1 kqgdmededccb t72q3z038jeh ``` This option can be used to perform batch operations. For example, you can use the task IDs as input for other commands, such as `docker inspect`. The following example inspects all tasks of the "voting" stack; ```console $ docker inspect $(docker stack ps -q voting) [ { "ID": "xim5bcqtgk1b1gk0krq1", "Version": { <...> ``` ## Related commands * [stack deploy](stack_deploy.md) * [stack ls](stack_ls.md) * [stack rm](stack_rm.md) * [stack services](stack_services.md)
