Description

Currently, it is possible to specify a specific set of profiles to run, when using docker compose:

docker compose --profile p1 --profile p2 up

It would be nice to have such ability in the docker stack CLI as well, something like:

docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml --profile p1 --profile p2 app

would work fine.

Research direction

Start at the docker stack deploy CLI entry point and compare its option handling with docker compose profile support. Confirm how repeated --profile values should be passed to the stack deployment path; done means the example command deploys only the selected profiles and the relevant CLI tests pass.
