# stack config
<!---MARKER_GEN_START-->
Outputs the final config file, after doing merges and interpolations
### Options
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|:-----------------------|:--------------|:--------|:--------------------------------------------------|
| `-c`, `--compose-file` | `stringSlice` | | Path to a Compose file, or `-` to read from stdin |
| `--skip-interpolation` | | | Skip interpolation and output only merged config |
<!---MARKER_GEN_END-->
## Description
Outputs the final Compose file, after doing the merges and interpolations of the input Compose files.
## Examples
The following command outputs the result of the merge and interpolation of two Compose files.
```console
$ docker stack config --compose-file docker-compose.yml --compose-file docker-compose.prod.yml
```
The Compose file can also be provided as standard input with `--compose-file -`:
```console
$ cat docker-compose.yml | docker stack config --compose-file -
```
### Skipping interpolation
In some cases, it might be useful to skip interpolation of environment variables.
For example, when you want to pipe the output of this command back to `stack deploy`.
If you have a regex for a redirect route in an environment variable for your webserver you would use two `$` signs to prevent `stack deploy` from interpolating `${1}`.
```yaml
service: webserver
environment:
REDIRECT_REGEX=http://host/redirect/$${1}
```
With interpolation, the `stack config` command will replace the environment variable in the Compose file
with `REDIRECT_REGEX=http://host/redirect/${1}`, but then when piping it back to the `stack deploy`
command it will be interpolated again and result in undefined behavior.
That is why, when piping the output back to `stack deploy` one should always prefer the `--skip-interpolation` option.
```console
$ docker stack config --compose-file web.yml --compose-file web.prod.yml --skip-interpolation | docker stack deploy --compose-file -
```
