DOCKER(1)

πŸ’– DOCKER(1) β€” the docker-service-ps page, bestie edition πŸ’–

okay so real talk, this is from the Docker User Manuals and it's giving "I just wanna know what my services are actually doing" energy. it's docker-service-ps, and it's here to spill the tea on your tasks. no cap. 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

docker-service-ps β€” List the tasks of one or more services

like, literally. that's the whole job. it lists tasks. iconic behavior.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

docker service ps [OPTIONS] SERVICE [SERVICE...]

so you run it, you throw one or more services at it, you optionally pass some OPTIONS, and it tells you the tasks. periodt.


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

List the tasks of one or more services

that's it. that's the description. short, sweet, main character energy. you point it at a service (or several, bestie, you can pass as many as you want), and it hands you back the tasks running under them. πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • -f, --filter= β€” filter the output based on conditions you provide. you want only some of the tasks? say less. this is your vibe check for the output. ✨
  • --format="" β€” pretty-print tasks using a Go template. yes, a Go template. you get to fully customize how it looks. it's giving arts and crafts but make it Go. 🎨
  • --no-resolve[=false] β€” do not map IDs to Names. by default it resolves them (that's why the default is false, iykyk), but flip it on and you get raw IDs, no name glow-up. πŸͺͺ
  • --no-trunc[=false] β€” do not truncate output. default is false (so yes, it truncates by default), and this says "bestie, give me the WHOLE thing, I can handle it." 😭
  • -q, --quiet[=false] β€” only display task IDs. nothing else. minimal. clean. lowkey a mood. 🀫

πŸ’œ SEE ALSO πŸ’œ

  • docker-service(1) β€” go check out the parent page, it's the whole service situation. the way that this one is basically its little sibling... obsessed. πŸ₯Ή

⚠️ heads up bestie: the [=false] on those flags means the default is false β€” so the behaviour is the opposite of what the flag name says unless you actually turn it on. read them twice, I beg. πŸ’€

and that's the whole page, fr fr. written by the Docker Community, version vibes from Oct 2026, and yeah it's filed under DOCKER(1) if you were wondering where it lives. slay, go list some tasks, you've got this πŸ’–βœ¨
