# docker service ls

**Description:** List services

**Usage:** `docker service ls [OPTIONS]`

**Aliases:** `docker service list`






**Orchestrator:** Swarm

## Description

This command lists services that are running in the swarm.

> [!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](/engine/swarm/) in the
> documentation.


## Options

| Option | Default | Description |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| `-f`, `--filter` |  |  Filter output based on conditions provided |
| `--format` |  |  Format output using a custom template:<br>'table':            Print output in table format with column headers (default)<br>'table TEMPLATE':   Print output in table format using the given Go template<br>'json':             Print in JSON format<br>'TEMPLATE':         Print output using the given Go template.<br>Refer to https://docs.docker.com/go/formatting/ for more information about formatting output with templates |
| `-q`, `--quiet` |  |  Only display IDs |



## Examples

On a manager node:

```console
$ docker service ls

ID            NAME      MODE            REPLICAS             IMAGE
c8wgl7q4ndfd  frontend  replicated      5/5                  nginx:alpine
dmu1ept4cxcf  redis     replicated      3/3                  redis:7.4.1
iwe3278osahj  mongo     global          7/7                  mongo:3.3
hh08h9uu8uwr  job       replicated-job  1/1 (3/5 completed)  nginx:latest
```

The `REPLICAS` column shows both the actual and desired number of tasks for
the service. If the service is in `replicated-job` or `global-job`, it will
additionally show the completion status of the job as completed tasks over
total tasks the job will execute.

### Filtering (--filter) {#filter}

The filtering flag (`-f` or `--filter`) format is of "key=value". If there is more
than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g., `--filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz"`).

The currently supported filters are:

* [id](/reference/cli/docker/service/ls/#id)
* [label](/reference/cli/docker/service/ls/#label)
* [mode](/reference/cli/docker/service/ls/#mode)
* [name](/reference/cli/docker/service/ls/#name)

#### id

The `id` filter matches all or the prefix of a service's ID.

The following filter matches services with an ID starting with `0bcjw`:

```console
$ docker service ls -f "id=0bcjw"
ID            NAME   MODE        REPLICAS  IMAGE
0bcjwfh8ychr  redis  replicated  1/1       redis:7.4.1
```

#### label

The `label` filter matches services based on the presence of a `label` alone or
a `label` and a value.

The following filter matches all services with a `project` label regardless of
its value:

```console
$ docker service ls --filter label=project
ID            NAME       MODE        REPLICAS  IMAGE
01sl1rp6nj5u  frontend2  replicated  1/1       nginx:alpine
36xvvwwauej0  frontend   replicated  5/5       nginx:alpine
74nzcxxjv6fq  backend    replicated  3/3       redis:7.4.1
```

The following filter matches only services with the `project` label with the
`project-a` value.

```console
$ docker service ls --filter label=project=project-a
ID            NAME      MODE        REPLICAS  IMAGE
36xvvwwauej0  frontend  replicated  5/5       nginx:alpine
74nzcxxjv6fq  backend   replicated  3/3       redis:7.4.1
```

#### mode

The `mode` filter matches on the mode (either `replicated` or `global`) of a service.

The following filter matches only `global` services.

```console
$ docker service ls --filter mode=global
ID                  NAME                MODE                REPLICAS            IMAGE
w7y0v2yrn620        top                 global              1/1                 busybox
```

#### name

The `name` filter matches on all or the prefix of a service's name.

The following filter matches services with a name starting with `redis`.

```console
$ docker service ls --filter name=redis
ID            NAME   MODE        REPLICAS  IMAGE
0bcjwfh8ychr  redis  replicated  1/1       redis:7.4.1
```

### Format the output (--format) {#format}

The formatting options (`--format`) pretty-prints services output
using a Go template.

Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

| Placeholder | Description                             |
|-------------|-----------------------------------------|
| `.ID`       | Service ID                              |
| `.Name`     | Service name                            |
| `.Mode`     | Service mode (replicated, global)       |
| `.Replicas` | Service replicas                        |
| `.Image`    | Service image                           |
| `.Ports`    | Service ports published in ingress mode |

When using the `--format` option, the `service ls` 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
`ID`, `Mode`, and `Replicas` entries separated by a colon (`:`) for all services:

```console
$ docker service ls --format "{{.ID}}: {{.Mode}} {{.Replicas}}"

0zmvwuiu3vue: replicated 10/10
fm6uf97exkul: global 5/5
```

To list all services in JSON format, use the `json` directive:

```console
$ docker service ls --format json
{"ID":"ssniordqolsi","Image":"hello-world:latest","Mode":"replicated","Name":"hello","Ports":"","Replicas":"0/1"}
```
