Services
The Services menu is only available to Docker Swarm endpoints.
A service consists of an image definition and container configuration as well as instructions on how those containers will be deployed across a Swarm cluster.

The circle next to the image name indicates whether the local image is up to date, with a green circle indicating it is up to date and a red circle indicating that there is a newer version of the image available at the remote registry. A grey circle indicates Portainer was unable to determine whether there is an update available for the image.
For more on how this works, have a look at this FAQ entry.
Image update notifications are currently not supported for private registries and private images in DockerHub. This is due to be fixed in our next version.
