## Description

Lists the tasks that are running as part of the specified stack.

> **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

### 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

t72q3z038jeh        voting_redis.2        redis:alpine                                   node3  Running        Running 3 minutes ago
```

### <a name="filter"></a> Filtering (--filter)

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

w48spazhbmxc        voting_redis.1        redis:alpine                                   node2  Running        Running 21 minutes ago

```

### <a name="format"></a> Format the output (--format)

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":""}
```

### <a name="no-resolve"></a> Do not map IDs to Names (--no-resolve)

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

### <a name="no-trunc"></a> Do not truncate output (--no-trunc)

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

### <a name="quiet"></a> Only display task IDs (-q, --quiet)

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": {
<...>
```
