title: Stack Management
|
|
description: Create, deploy, control, and remove Docker Compose stacks.
|
|

|
|
|
|
A **stack** in Sencho is a Docker Compose project: a directory inside your `COMPOSE_DIR` that contains at least a `compose.yaml` (or `docker-compose.yml`) file. Sencho automatically discovers every subdirectory as a stack.

## Creating a stack
|
|
|
|
Click **Create Stack** in the left sidebar. Enter a name and click **Create**.
|
|
|
|
**Naming rules:**
|
|
- Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only (e.g. `my-app`, `nextcloud`)
|
|
- No spaces or special characters
|
|
- Must be unique — duplicates are rejected
|
|
|
|
Sencho creates a new directory inside `COMPOSE_DIR` with a blank `compose.yaml` file. You'll land in the editor automatically.
|
|
|
|
## The stack list
|
|
|
|
All discovered stacks appear in the left sidebar. Each shows a color-coded status dot:
|
|
|
|
| Color | Meaning |
|
|
|-------|---------|
|
|
| Green | All containers running |
|
|
| Red | One or more containers exited |
|
|
| Gray | No containers / status unknown |
|
|
|
|
Use the **search box** above the list to filter stacks by name.
|
|
|
|
## Deploying a stack
|
|
|
|
Select a stack and click **Deploy** in the stack header. This runs `docker compose up -d` — pulling images if needed and creating or recreating containers.

|
## Controlling a running stack
|
|
|
|
The stack header exposes four actions:
|
|
|
|
| Button | Command | What it does |
|
|
|--------|---------|--------------|
|
|
| **Stop** | `docker compose stop` | Stops containers without removing them. State is preserved. |
|
|
| **Restart** | `docker compose restart` | Restarts all containers in the stack. |
|
|
| **Update** | `docker compose pull` + `up -d` | Pulls the latest image tags and recreates containers. |
|
|
| **Delete** | `down` + removes files | Stops and removes containers, then deletes the stack directory. |
|
|
|
|
<Warning>
|
|
**Delete** is irreversible. It removes the stack directory — including `compose.yaml`, `.env`, and any bind-mounted files stored there. Back up important files before deleting.
|
|
</Warning>
|
|
|
|
## Stack context menu
|
|
|
|
Right-click or use the **⋮** button on any stack in the sidebar to access:

|

|
|
</Frame>
|
|
|
|
- **Alerts** — configure metric-based alerting rules for this stack
|
|
- **Check for updates** — manually trigger an image update check
|
|
|
|
## Converting a `docker run` command
|
|
|
|
If you have an existing `docker run` command and want to turn it into a Compose stack, go to the **Home** tab and paste it into the "Convert Docker Run to Compose" field. Sencho converts it to YAML that you can save as a new stack.
