Let's say we have the following stack file:
version: "3"
services:
ubuntu:
image: ubuntu
deploy:
replicas: 2
restart_policy:
condition: on-failure
resources:
limits:
cpus: "0.1"
memory: 50M
entrypoint:
- tail
- -f
- /dev/null
logging:
driver: "json-file"
ports:
- "80:80"
networks:
- webnet
web:
image: httpd
ports:
- "8080:8080"
hostname: "apache"
volumes:
- "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"
deploy:
placement:
constraints: [node.role == manager]
resources:
limits:
memory: 32M
reservations:
memory: 16M
depends_on:
- "ubuntu"
networks:
- webnet
networks:
webnet:
When I run docker service inspect mystack_web
the output generated does not show any reference to the depends_on entry.
Is that okay? and how can I print the dependencies of a given docker service?
The depends_on
isn't used on docker swarm:
The
depends_on
option is ignored when deploying a stack in swarm mode with a version 3 compose file. - from Docker Docs
Another good explanation on GitHub:
depends_on
is a no-op when used withdocker stack deploy
. Swarm mode services are restarted when they fail, so there's no reason to delay their startup. Even if they fail a few times, they will eventually recover. - from GitHub
