Stacks (Compose)

Stacks bring up a compose file as a group of WSLc containers, networks and volumes. WSLc has no compose engine, so the app translates the file into wslc commands itself.

Bring a stack up

1. Open Stacks and choose Open compose file.

   

2. Pick a compose.yaml (the walkthrough uses the sample file).

3. Review the preview. It shows the project name (editable), the ordered actions the app will run and a warning for every key WSLc can't honour.

   

   If the file references secrets, a Secrets needed section lets you create the missing ones right here; see Secrets.

4. Choose Up. The app creates networks and volumes, builds images where needed and starts services in dependency order.

Manage a stack

Each row shows the services and a status such as 2 / 2 running, with start, stop and delete actions that apply to the whole stack. Select a stack to see its services and a combined, prefixed log stream.

Stack containers are labelled with their project and service, so they also appear on the Containers page.
