# Docker Stacks and Distributed Application Bundles
## Overview
Docker Stacks and Distributed Application Bundles are experimental features
introduced in Docker 1.12 and Docker Compose 1.8, alongside the concept of
swarm mode, and Nodes and Services in the Engine API.
A Dockerfile can be built into an image, and containers can be created from
that image. Similarly, a docker-compose.yml can be built into a **distributed
application bundle**, and **stacks** can be created from that bundle. In that
sense, the bundle is a multi-services distributable image format.
As of Docker 1.12 and Compose 1.8, the features are experimental. Neither
Docker Engine nor the Docker Registry supports distribution of bundles.
## Producing a bundle
The easiest way to produce a bundle is to generate it using `docker-compose`
from an existing `docker-compose.yml`. Of course, that's just *one* possible way
to proceed, in the same way that `docker build` isn't the only way to produce a
Docker image.
From `docker-compose`:
```bash
$ docker-compose bundle
WARNING: Unsupported key 'network_mode' in services.nsqd - ignoring
WARNING: Unsupported key 'links' in services.nsqd - ignoring
WARNING: Unsupported key 'volumes' in services.nsqd - ignoring
[...]
Wrote bundle to vossibility-stack.dab
```
## Creating a stack from a bundle
A stack is created using the `docker deploy` command:
```bash
# docker deploy --help
Usage: docker deploy [OPTIONS] STACK
Create and update a stack from a Distributed Application Bundle (DAB)
Options:
--file string Path to a Distributed Application Bundle file (Default: STACK.dab)
--help Print usage
--with-registry-auth Send registry authentication details to Swarm agents
```
Let's deploy the stack created before:
```bash
# docker deploy vossibility-stack
Loading bundle from vossibility-stack.dab
Creating service vossibility-stack_elasticsearch
Creating service vossibility-stack_kibana
Creating service vossibility-stack_logstash
Creating service vossibility-stack_lookupd
Creating service vossibility-stack_nsqd
Creating service vossibility-stack_vossibility-collector
```
We can verify that services were correctly created:
```bash
$ docker service ls

```
## Managing stacks
Stacks are managed using the `docker stack` command:
```bash
# docker stack --help
Usage: docker stack COMMAND
Manage Docker stacks
Options:
--help Print usage
Commands:
config Print the stack configuration
deploy Create and update a stack
ls List stacks
rm Remove the stack
services List the services in the stack
tasks List the tasks in the stack
Run 'docker stack COMMAND --help' for more information on a command.
```
## Bundle file format
Distributed application bundles are described in a JSON format. When bundles
are persisted as files, the file extension is `.dab` (Docker 1.12RC2 tools use
`.dsb` for the file extension—this will be updated in the next release client).
A bundle has two top-level fields: `version` and `services`. The version used
by Docker 1.12 tools is `0.1`.
`services` in the bundle are the services that comprise the app. They
correspond to the new `Service` object introduced in the 1.12 Docker Engine API.
A service has the following fields:
<dl>
<dt>
Image (required) <code>string</code>
</dt>
<dd>
The image that the service will run. Docker images should be referenced
with full content hash to fully specify the deployment artifact for the
service. Example:
<code>postgres@sha256:f76245b04ddbcebab5bb6c28e76947f49222c99fec4aadb0bb
1c24821a 9e83ef</code>
</dd>
<dt>
Command <code>[]string</code>
</dt>
<dd>
Command to run in service containers.
</dd>
<dt>
Args <code>[]string</code>
</dt>
<dd>
Arguments passed to the service containers.
</dd>
<dt>
Env <code>[]string</code>
</dt>
<dd>
Environment variables.
</dd>
<dt>
Labels <code>map[string]string</code>
</dt>
<dd>
Labels used for setting meta data on services.
</dd>
<dt>
Ports <code>[]Port</code>
</dt>
<dd>
Service ports (composed of <code>Port</code> (<code>int</code>) and
<code>Protocol</code> (<code>string</code>). A service description can
only specify the container port to be exposed. These ports can be
mapped on runtime hosts at the operator's discretion.
</dd>
<dt>
WorkingDir <code>string</code>
</dt>
<dd>
Working directory inside the service containers.
</dd>
<dt>
User <code>string</code>
</dt>
<dd>
Username or UID (format: <code>&lt;name|uid&gt;[:&lt;group|gid&gt;]</code>).
</dd>
<dt>
Networks <code>[]string</code>
</dt>
<dd>
Networks that the service containers should be connected to. An entity
deploying a bundle should create networks as needed.
</dd>
</dl>
The following is an example of bundlefile with two services:
```json
{
"Version": "0.1",
"Services": {
"redis": {
"Image": "redis@sha256:4b24131101fa0117bcaa18ac37055fffd9176aa1a240392bb8ea85e0be50f2ce",
"Networks": ["default"]
},
"web": {
"Image": "dockercloud/hello-world@sha256:fe79a2cfbd17eefc344fb8419420808df95a1e22d93b7f621a7399fd1e9dca1d",
"Networks": ["default"],
"User": "web"
}
}
}
```
