How to fix Error: No such service: myservice in Docker

# List all services in the swarm
docker service ls

# Filter by name pattern
docker service ls --filter "name=myservice"

# Show detailed output
docker service ls --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Name}}\t{{.Mode}}\t{{.Replicas}}"

# Check if this node is in swarm mode
docker info | grep -i swarm

# Check if this is a manager node
docker node ls

# If you see "This node is not a swarm manager", you need to:
# 1. SSH to a manager node, or
# 2. Initialize swarm if not done: docker swarm init

# Deploying with stack
docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml mystack

# Service "web" becomes "mystack_web"
docker service ls
# NAME         MODE        REPLICAS   IMAGE
# mystack_web  replicated  3/3        nginx:latest

# Use the full name with prefix
docker service ps mystack_web

# Or list services in a specific stack
docker stack services mystack

# Create a simple service
docker service create --name myservice nginx

# Create with replicas
docker service create --name myservice --replicas 3 nginx

# Deploy from a compose file
docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml mystack

# Or using docker-compose in swarm mode
docker compose up -d

# List all Docker contexts
docker context ls

# See which context is active (marked with *)
docker context show

# Switch to a different context
docker context use production-swarm

# Or specify context for a single command
docker --context production-swarm service ls

# List all stacks
docker stack ls

# Check services in a stack
docker stack services mystack

# View detailed task information (shows failures)
docker stack ps mystack --no-trunc

# Check for failed tasks
docker stack ps mystack --filter "desired-state=shutdown"

# Get detailed error messages
docker service ps myservice --no-trunc --filter "desired-state=shutdown"

# Check your compose version
docker compose version

# Known issues occur with:
# - --no-deps flag with healthcheck dependencies
# - Services with profiles
# - Multiple compose files

# Workarounds:
# 1. Remove --no-deps if using service dependencies
docker compose up myservice  # instead of docker compose up --no-deps myservice

# 2. Explicitly specify profile when restarting
docker compose --profile myprofile restart myservice

# 3. Update to latest Docker Compose version
docker compose version
# Consider updating if below 2.20
