I want to set which profiles use to docker stack deploy. I mean, assume my docker-compose.yml is like this:

version: '3.8' services: admin: image: "${ADMIN_IMAGE}" restart: always profiles: - "admin" api: image: "${API_IMAGE}" restart: always profiles: - "api" redis: image: "${REDIS_IMAGE}" restart: always profiles: - "redis"

And want to deploy just admin and Redis services. If it was docker-compose, then I had two options: docker compose --profile=admin --profile=redis up -d or COMPOSE_PROFILES=admin,redis docker compose up -d but I want to deploy this as a swarm stack with docker stack deploy --compose-file docker-compose.yml stack_name and I can't. Both options don't work in this situation, although docker docs says swarm supports it, but don't say how.

So my question is:

  • Do docker swarm support profiles?
  • If it is supported, how I use it?
  • Else, how can I deploy a part of compose file?

It seems profiles are not supported yet in docker swarm. Using the docker stack config command on a docker-compose.yml file with profiles returns an error:

$ docker stack config -c docker-compose.yml services.my_service Additional property profiles is not allowed

For now the only workaround I figured out is to create different docker-compose.yml files for each profile I have, and docker stack deploy them into the same stack only when needed.

It's not a clean solution I know, just a workaround...
