## Description
Creates a service as described by the specified parameters. You must run this
command on a manager node.
## Examples
### Create a service
```bash
$ docker service create --name redis redis:3.0.6
dmu1ept4cxcfe8k8lhtux3ro3
$ docker service create --mode global --name redis2 redis:3.0.6
a8q9dasaafudfs8q8w32udass
$ docker service ls
ID NAME MODE REPLICAS IMAGE
dmu1ept4cxcf redis replicated 1/1 redis:3.0.6
a8q9dasaafud redis2 global 1/1 redis:3.0.6
```
### Create a service with 5 replica tasks (--replicas)
Use the `--replicas` flag to set the number of replica tasks for a replicated
service. The following command creates a `redis` service with `5` replica tasks:
```bash
$ docker service create --name redis --replicas=5 redis:3.0.6
4cdgfyky7ozwh3htjfw0d12qv
```
The above command sets the *desired* number of tasks for the service. Even
though the command returns immediately, actual scaling of the service may take
some time. The `REPLICAS` column shows both the *actual* and *desired* number
of replica tasks for the service.
In the following example the desired state is `5` replicas, but the current
number of `RUNNING` tasks is `3`:
```bash
$ docker service ls
ID NAME MODE REPLICAS IMAGE
4cdgfyky7ozw redis replicated 3/5 redis:3.0.7
```
Once all the tasks are created and `RUNNING`, the actual number of tasks is
equal to the desired number:
```bash
$ docker service ls
ID NAME MODE REPLICAS IMAGE
4cdgfyky7ozw redis replicated 5/5 redis:3.0.7
```
### Create a service with secrets
Use the `--secret` flag to give a container access to a
[secret](secret_create.md).
Create a service specifying a secret:
```bash
$ docker service create --name redis --secret secret.json redis:3.0.6
4cdgfyky7ozwh3htjfw0d12qv
```
Create a service specifying the secret, target, user/group ID, and mode:
```bash
$ docker service create --name redis \
--secret source=ssh-key,target=ssh \
--secret source=app-key,target=app,uid=1000,gid=1001,mode=0400 \
redis:3.0.6
4cdgfyky7ozwh3htjfw0d12qv
```
To grant a service access to multiple secrets, use multiple `--secret` flags.
Secrets are located in `/run/secrets` in the container. If no target is
specified, the name of the secret will be used as the in memory file in the
container. If a target is specified, that will be the filename. In the
example above, two files will be created: `/run/secrets/ssh` and
`/run/secrets/app` for each of the secret targets specified.
### Create a service with a rolling update policy
```bash
$ docker service create \
--replicas 10 \
--name redis \
--update-delay 10s \
--update-parallelism 2 \
redis:3.0.6
```
When you run a [service update](service_update.md), the scheduler updates a
maximum of 2 tasks at a time, with `10s` between updates. For more information,
refer to the [rolling updates
tutorial](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/swarm-tutorial/rolling-update/).
### Set environment variables (-e, --env)
This sets an environmental variable for all tasks in a service. For example:
```bash
$ docker service create \
--name redis_2 \
--replicas 5 \
--env MYVAR=foo \
redis:3.0.6
```
To specify multiple environment variables, specify multiple `--env` flags, each
with a separate key-value pair.
```bash
$ docker service create \
--name redis_2 \
--replicas 5 \
--env MYVAR=foo \
--env MYVAR2=bar \
redis:3.0.6
```
### Create a service with specific hostname (--hostname)
This option sets the docker service containers hostname to a specific string.
For example:
```bash
$ docker service create --name redis --hostname myredis redis:3.0.6
```
### Set metadata on a service (-l, --label)
A label is a `key=value` pair that applies metadata to a service. To label a
service with two labels:
```bash
$ docker service create \
--name redis_2 \
--label com.example.foo="bar"
--label bar=baz \
redis:3.0.6
```
For more information about labels, refer to [apply custom
metadata](https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/labels-custom-metadata/).
### Add bind mounts, volumes or memory filesystems
Docker supports three different kinds of mounts, which allow containers to read
from or write to files or directories, either on the host operating system, or
on memory filesystems. These types are _data volumes_ (often referred to simply
as volumes), _bind mounts_, and _tmpfs_.
A **bind mount** makes a file or directory on the host available to the
container it is mounted within. A bind mount may be either read-only or
read-write. For example, a container might share its host's DNS information by
means of a bind mount of the host's `/etc/resolv.conf` or a container might
write logs to its host's `/var/log/myContainerLogs` directory. If you use
bind mounts and your host and containers have different notions of permissions,
access controls, or other such details, you will run into portability issues.
A **named volume** is a mechanism for decoupling persistent data needed by your
container from the image used to create the container and from the host machine.
Named volumes are created and managed by Docker, and a named volume persists
even when no container is currently using it. Data in named volumes can be
shared between a container and the host machine, as well as between multiple
containers. Docker uses a _volume driver_ to create, manage, and mount volumes.
You can back up or restore volumes using Docker commands.
A **tmpfs** mounts a tmpfs inside a container for volatile data.
Consider a situation where your image starts a lightweight web server. You could
use that image as a base image, copy in your website's HTML files, and package
that into another image. Each time your website changed, you'd need to update
the new image and redeploy all of the containers serving your website. A better
solution is to store the website in a named volume which is attached to each of
your web server containers when they start. To update the website, you just
update the named volume.
For more information about named volumes, see
[Data Volumes](https://docs.docker.com/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/).
The following table describes options which apply to both bind mounts and named
volumes in a service:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Option</th>
<th>Required</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>types</b></td>

<td>
<ul>
<li>
<tt>type=volume</tt>: <tt>src</tt> is an optional way to specify the name of the volume (for example, <tt>src=my-volume</tt>).
If the named volume does not exist, it is automatically created. If no <tt>src</tt> is specified, the volume is
assigned a random name which is guaranteed to be unique on the host, but may not be unique cluster-wide.

#### Bind Propagation
Bind propagation refers to whether or not mounts created within a given
bind mount or named volume can be propagated to replicas of that mount. Consider
a mount point `/mnt`, which is also mounted on `/tmp`. The propation settings
control whether a mount on `/tmp/a` would also be available on `/mnt/a`. Each
propagation setting has a recursive counterpoint. In the case of recursion,
consider that `/tmp/a` is also mounted as `/foo`. The propagation settings
control whether `/mnt/a` and/or `/tmp/a` would exist.
The `bind-propagation` option defaults to `rprivate` for both bind mounts and
volume mounts, and is only configurable for bind mounts. In other words, named
volumes do not support bind propagation.
- **`shared`**: Sub-mounts of the original mount are exposed to replica mounts,
and sub-mounts of replica mounts are also propagated to the
original mount.
- **`slave`**: similar to a shared mount, but only in one direction. If the
original mount exposes a sub-mount, the replica mount can see it.
However, if the replica mount exposes a sub-mount, the original
mount cannot see it.
- **`private`**: The mount is private. Sub-mounts within it are not exposed to
replica mounts, and sub-mounts of replica mounts are not
exposed to the original mount.
- **`rshared`**: The same as shared, but the propagation also extends to and from
mount points nested within any of the original or replica mount
points.
- **`rslave`**: The same as `slave`, but the propagation also extends to and from
mount points nested within any of the original or replica mount
points.
- **`rprivate`**: The default. The same as `private`, meaning that no mount points
anywhere within the original or replica mount points propagate
in either direction.
For more information about bind propagation, see the
[Linux kernel documentation for shared subtree](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/sharedsubtree.txt).
#### Options for Named Volumes
The following options can only be used for named volumes (`type=volume`):
<table>
<tr>
<th>Option</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>volume-driver</b></td>
<td>
<p>Name of the volume-driver plugin to use for the volume. Defaults to
<tt>"local"</tt>, to use the local volume driver to create the volume if the
volume does not exist.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>volume-label</b></td>
<td>
One or more custom metadata ("labels") to apply to the volume upon
creation. For example,
<tt>volume-label=mylabel=hello-world,my-other-label=hello-mars</tt>. For more
information about labels, refer to
<a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/labels-custom-metadata/">apply custom metadata</a>.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>volume-nocopy</b></td>
<td>
By default, if you attach an empty volume to a container, and files or
directories already existed at the mount-path in the container (<tt>dst</tt>),
the Engine copies those files and directories into the volume, allowing
the host to access them. Set <tt>volume-nocopy</tt> to disable copying files
from the container's filesystem to the volume and mount the empty volume.<br />
A value is optional:
<ul>
<li><tt>true</tt> or <tt>1</tt>: Default if you do not provide a value. Disables copying.</li>
<li><tt>false</tt> or <tt>0</tt>: Enables copying.</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>volume-opt</b></td>
<td>
Options specific to a given volume driver, which will be passed to the
driver when creating the volume. Options are provided as a comma-separated
list of key/value pairs, for example,
<tt>volume-opt=some-option=some-value,volume-opt=some-other-option=some-other-value</tt>.
For available options for a given driver, refer to that driver's
documentation.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
#### Options for tmpfs
The following options can only be used for tmpfs mounts (`type=tmpfs`);
<table>
<tr>
<th>Option</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>tmpfs-size</b></td>
<td>Size of the tmpfs mount in bytes. Unlimited by default in Linux.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>tmpfs-mode</b></td>
<td>File mode of the tmpfs in octal. (e.g. <tt>"700"</tt> or <tt>"0700"</tt>.) Defaults to <tt>"1777"</tt> in Linux.</td>
</tr>
</table>
#### Differences between "--mount" and "--volume"
The `--mount` flag supports most options that are supported by the `-v`
or `--volume` flag for `docker run`, with some important exceptions:
- The `--mount` flag allows you to specify a volume driver and volume driver
options *per volume*, without creating the volumes in advance. In contrast,
`docker run` allows you to specify a single volume driver which is shared
by all volumes, using the `--volume-driver` flag.
- The `--mount` flag allows you to specify custom metadata ("labels") for a volume,
before the volume is created.
- When you use `--mount` with `type=bind`, the host-path must refer to an *existing*
path on the host. The path will not be created for you and the service will fail
with an error if the path does not exist.
- The `--mount` flag does not allow you to relabel a volume with `Z` or `z` flags,
which are used for `selinux` labeling.
#### Create a service using a named volume
The following example creates a service that uses a named volume:
```bash
$ docker service create \
--name my-service \
--replicas 3 \
--mount type=volume,source=my-volume,destination=/path/in/container,volume-label="color=red",volume-label="shape=round" \
nginx:alpine
```
For each replica of the service, the engine requests a volume named "my-volume"
from the default ("local") volume driver where the task is deployed. If the
volume does not exist, the engine creates a new volume and applies the "color"
and "shape" labels.
When the task is started, the volume is mounted on `/path/in/container/` inside
the container.
Be aware that the default ("local") volume is a locally scoped volume driver.
This means that depending on where a task is deployed, either that task gets a
*new* volume named "my-volume", or shares the same "my-volume" with other tasks
of the same service. Multiple containers writing to a single shared volume can
cause data corruption if the software running inside the container is not
designed to handle concurrent processes writing to the same location. Also take
into account that containers can be re-scheduled by the Swarm orchestrator and
be deployed on a different node.
#### Create a service that uses an anonymous volume
The following command creates a service with three replicas with an anonymous
volume on `/path/in/container`:
```bash
$ docker service create \
--name my-service \
--replicas 3 \
--mount type=volume,destination=/path/in/container \
nginx:alpine
```
In this example, no name (`source`) is specified for the volume, so a new volume
is created for each task. This guarantees that each task gets its own volume,
and volumes are not shared between tasks. Anonymous volumes are removed after
the task using them is complete.
#### Create a service that uses a bind-mounted host directory
The following example bind-mounts a host directory at `/path/in/container` in
the containers backing the service:
```bash
$ docker service create \
--name my-service \
--mount type=bind,source=/path/on/host,destination=/path/in/container \
nginx:alpine
```
### Set service mode (--mode)
The service mode determines whether this is a _replicated_ service or a _global_
service. A replicated service runs as many tasks as specified, while a global
service runs on each active node in the swarm.
The following command creates a global service:
```bash
$ docker service create \
--name redis_2 \
--mode global \
redis:3.0.6
```
### Specify service constraints (--constraint)
You can limit the set of nodes where a task can be scheduled by defining
constraint expressions. Multiple constraints find nodes that satisfy every
expression (AND match). Constraints can match node or Docker Engine labels as
follows:
<table>
<tr>
<th>node attribute</th>
<th>matches</th>
<th>example</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>node.id</tt></td>
<td>Node ID</td>
<td><tt>node.id==2ivku8v2gvtg4</tt></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>node.hostname</tt></td>
<td>Node hostname</td>
<td><tt>node.hostname!=node-2</tt></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>node.role</tt></td>
<td>Node role</td>
<td><tt>node.role==manager</tt></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>node.labels</tt></td>
<td>user defined node labels</td>
<td><tt>node.labels.security==high</tt></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>engine.labels</tt></td>
<td>Docker Engine's labels</td>
<td><tt>engine.labels.operatingsystem==ubuntu 14.04</tt></td>
</tr>
</table>
`engine.labels` apply to Docker Engine labels like operating system,
drivers, etc. Swarm administrators add `node.labels` for operational purposes by
using the [`docker node update`](node_update.md) command.
For example, the following limits tasks for the redis service to nodes where the
node type label equals queue:
```bash
$ docker service create \
--name redis_2 \
--constraint 'node.labels.type == queue' \
redis:3.0.6
```
### Specify service placement preferences (--placement-pref)
You can set up the service to divide tasks evenly over different categories of
nodes. One example of where this can be useful is to balance tasks over a set
of datacenters or availability zones. The example below illustrates this:
```bash
$ docker service create \
--replicas 9 \
--name redis_2 \
--placement-pref 'spread=node.labels.datacenter' \
redis:3.0.6
```
This uses `--placement-pref` with a `spread` strategy (currently the only
supported strategy) to spread tasks evenly over the values of the `datacenter`
node label. In this example, we assume that every node has a `datacenter` node
label attached to it. If there are three different values of this label among
nodes in the swarm, one third of the tasks will be placed on the nodes
associated with each value. This is true even if there are more nodes with one
value than another. For example, consider the following set of nodes:
- Three nodes with `node.labels.datacenter=east`
- Two nodes with `node.labels.datacenter=south`
- One node with `node.labels.datacenter=west`
Since we are spreading over the values of the `datacenter` label and the
service has 9 replicas, 3 replicas will end up in each datacenter. There are
three nodes associated with the value `east`, so each one will get one of the
three replicas reserved for this value. There are two nodes with the value
`south`, and the three replicas for this value will be divided between them,
with one receiving two replicas and another receiving just one. Finally, `west`
has a single node that will get all three replicas reserved for `west`.
If the nodes in one category (for example, those with
`node.labels.datacenter=south`) can't handle their fair share of tasks due to
constraints or resource limitations, the extra tasks will be assigned to other
nodes instead, if possible.
Both engine labels and node labels are supported by placement preferences. The
example above uses a node label, because the label is referenced with
`node.labels.datacenter`. To spread over the values of an engine label, use
`--placement-pref spread=engine.labels.<labelname>`.
It is possible to add multiple placement preferences to a service. This
establishes a hierarchy of preferences, so that tasks are first divided over
one category, and then further divided over additional categories. One example
of where this may be useful is dividing tasks fairly between datacenters, and
then splitting the tasks within each datacenter over a choice of racks. To add
multiple placement preferences, specify the `--placement-pref` flag multiple
times. The order is significant, and the placement preferences will be applied
in the order given when making scheduling decisions.
The following example sets up a service with multiple placement preferences.
Tasks are spread first over the various datacenters, and then over racks
(as indicated by the respective labels):
```bash
$ docker service create \
--replicas 9 \
--name redis_2 \
--placement-pref 'spread=node.labels.datacenter' \
--placement-pref 'spread=node.labels.rack' \
redis:3.0.6
```
When updating a service with `docker service update`, `--placement-pref-add`
appends a new placement preference after all existing placement preferences.
`--placement-pref-rm` removes an existing placement preference that matches the
argument.
### Attach a service to an existing network (--network)
You can use overlay networks to connect one or more services within the swarm.
First, create an overlay network on a manager node the docker network create
command:
```bash
$ docker network create --driver overlay my-network
etjpu59cykrptrgw0z0hk5snf
```
After you create an overlay network in swarm mode, all manager nodes have
access to the network.
When you create a service and pass the --network flag to attach the service to
the overlay network:
```bash
$ docker service create \
--replicas 3 \
--network my-network \
--name my-web \
nginx
716thylsndqma81j6kkkb5aus
```
The swarm extends my-network to each node running the service.
Containers on the same network can access each other using
[service discovery](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/networking/#use-swarm-mode-service-discovery).
### Publish service ports externally to the swarm (-p, --publish)
You can publish service ports to make them available externally to the swarm
using the `--publish` flag. The `--publish` flag can take two different styles
of arguments. The short version is positional, and allows you to specify the
published port and target port separated by a colon.
```bash
$ docker service create --name my_web --replicas 3 --publish 8080:80 nginx
```
There is also a long format, which is easier to read and allows you to specify
more options. The long format is preferred. You cannot specify the service's
mode when using the short format. Here is an example of using the long format
for the same service as above:
```bash
$ docker service create --name my_web --replicas 3 --publish published=8080,target=80 nginx
```
The options you can specify are:
<table>

<tr>
<th>Option</th>
<th>Short syntax</th>
<th>Long syntax</th>
<th>Description</th>

<tr>
<td>published and target port </td>
<td><tt></tt></td>

When you publish a service port using `ingres` mode, the swarm routing mesh
makes the service accessible at the published port on every node regardless if
there is a task for the service running on the node. If you use `host` mode,
the port is only bound on nodes where the service is running, and a given port
on a node can only be bound once. You can only set the publication mode using
the long syntax. For more information refer to
[Use swarm mode routing mesh](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/ingress/).
### Provide credential specs for managed service accounts (Windows only)
This option is only used for services using Windows containers. The
`--credential-spec` must be in the format `file://<filename>` or
`registry://<value-name>`.
When using the `file://<filename>` format, the referenced file must be
present in the `CredentialSpecs` subdirectory in the docker data directory,
which defaults to `C:\ProgramData\Docker\` on Windows. For example,
specifying `file://spec.json` loads `C:\ProgramData\Docker\CredentialSpecs\spec.json`.
When using the `registry://<value-name>` format, the credential spec is
read from the Windows registry on the daemon's host. The specified
registry value must be located in:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtualization\Containers\CredentialSpecs
### Create services using templates
You can use templates for some flags of `service create`, using the syntax
provided by the Go's [text/template](http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) package.
The supported flags are the following :
- `--hostname`
- `--mount`
- `--env`
Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Placeholder</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>.Service.ID</tt></td>
<td>Service ID</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>.Service.Name</tt></td>
<td>Service name</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>.Service.Labels</tt></td>
<td>Service labels</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>.Node.ID</tt></td>
<td>Node ID</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>.Node.Hostname</tt></td>
<td>Node Hostname</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>.Task.ID</tt></td>
<td>Task ID</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>.Task.Name</tt></td>
<td>Task name</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><tt>.Task.Slot</tt></td>
<td>Task slot</td>
</tr>
</table>
#### Template example
In this example, we are going to set the template of the created containers based on the
service's name, the node's ID and hostname where it sits.
```bash
$ docker service create --name hosttempl \
--hostname="{{.Node.Hostname}}-{{.Node.ID}}-{{.Service.Name}}"\
busybox top
va8ew30grofhjoychbr6iot8c
$ docker service ps va8ew30grofhjoychbr6iot8c
ID NAME IMAGE NODE DESIRED STATE CURRENT STATE ERROR PORTS
wo41w8hg8qan hosttempl.1 busybox:latest@sha256:29f5d56d12684887bdfa50dcd29fc31eea4aaf4ad3bec43daf19026a7ce69912 2e7a8a9c4da2 Running Running about a minute ago
$ docker inspect --format="{{.Config.Hostname}}" 2e7a8a9c4da2-wo41w8hg8qanxwjwsg4kxpprj-hosttempl
x3ti0erg11rjpg64m75kej2mz-hosttempl
```
### Specify isolation mode (Windows)
By default, tasks scheduled on Windows nodes are run using the default isolation mode
configured for this particular node. To force a specific isolation mode, you can use
the `--isolation` flag:
```bash
$ docker service create --name myservice --isolation=process microsoft/nanoserver
```
Supported isolation modes on Windows are:
- `default`: use default settings specified on the node running the task
- `process`: use process isolation (Windows server only)
- `hyperv`: use Hyper-V isolation
### Create services requesting Generic Resources
You can narrow the kind of nodes your task can land on through the using the
`--generic-resource` flag (if the nodes advertise these resources):
```bash
$ docker service create --name cuda \
--generic-resource "NVIDIA-GPU=2" \
--generic-resource "SSD=1" \
nvidia/cuda
```
