Deploy a service
Estimated reading time: 1 minuteYou can deploy and monitor your services from the UCP web UI. In this example
we deploy an NGINX web server, and make it accessible on port 8000.
Navigate to the UCP web UI, click the Resources tab, and choose Services.

Click the Create a Service button to deploy the NGINX service.

Fill-in the following fields:
| Field | Value | 
|---|---|
| Service name | nginx | 
| Image name | nginx | 
| Internal port | 80 | 
| Public port | 8000 | 

Once you’ve specified the service image and ports, click Deploy now to deploy the service into a node in the UCP cluster.
Once the service is up and running, the default NGINX
page is available at http://<node-ip>:8000.

Deploy from the CLI
You can also deploy the same service from the CLI. Once you’ve set up your UCP client bundle, run:
docker service create --name nginx \
  --publish 8000:80 \
  --label com.docker.ucp.access.owner=<your-username> \
  nginx
