DOCKER(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to docker-service-scale 💅 — the manual page that teaches you how to scale one or multiple replicated services. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

docker service scale SERVICE=REPLICAS [SERVICE=REPLICAS...]

like… you literally just say which service and how many replicas you want, and you can stack as many of those bad boys as you want in one go 👑

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Scale one or multiple replicated services.

periodt. 💖 that's the entire description and honestly? iconic. you point it at a service, you tell it a number of replicas, and it makes it happen. and the "multiple" part is not a drill — you can hand it a whole little list and it'll do the most for every single one of them. main character energy fr fr ✨

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -d, --detach[=false] — bestie this one just means exit immediately instead of waiting for the service to converge. default is false, so by default it'll sit there and watch the service actually settle into the replica count you asked for. pass this and you're like "k I'm leaving, bye 👋" and the shell comes right back to you. it's giving impatient queen and we respect it. 😌

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• docker-service(1) — go read that one too, it's the parent page and it knows things. 🫶
