Answer 1

Docker stack is somehow the equivalent for docker-compose but in swarm. A stack is a composition of multiple services defined in a stack file. You deploy a stack on a docker swarm which results in the creation of multiple services in that swarm.

You need first to have a swarm created by running docker swarm init and then you deploy the stack to the swarm by running docker stack deploy --compose-file stack-file.yml <stack-name>. Note that the same docker compose file you use, can be used to deploy the containers in swarm mode.
