Ability to Clone a Stack in the UI

[deniseschannon]

Currently, we have the ability to clone a single service but it would be nice to be able to clone a stack and clone all services.

Note: Sidekicked services would not be able to be cloned in a stack.

To be not an infinite number of API calls I would probably use the export yml and pass that to create a stack and import yml.. so sidekicks would actually work.

@vincent99 any way to do it in the UI?

[vincent99]

You can export the yaml files and import them when creating a new stack today. There is not currently an action that combines those 2 steps.

OK, thanks. Consider it a request, please.

Hi, just stumbled with this, wondering if this was/is ever going to be done, I personally would find it quite useful. Cheers

Wow, been a year? Wish I had the time to dig into the code and implement.

+1. I find this useful for when I need 2 same stacks for HA.

I don't expect to ever automate this; in 2.0 you can view the yaml and re-import/edit it easily. There are frequently going to be things you want to modify before creating the new resources.
