Hi, _may have missed this, but did search_

Is there a way to export the entire config of a particular host/hosts as a docker-compose file, or even as a custom rancher config that can be uploaded to another rancher instance?

Thanks

There is no way to export the config for a particular host. We allow exporting docker-compose and rancher-compose files of particular stacks (new term in current latest, v0.28.0) or projects (previous term). You can set up your project/stack and [export the configuration](http://docs.rancher.com/rancher/rancher-ui/applications/stacks/). [Using Rancher-compose](http://docs.rancher.com/rancher/rancher-compose/), you can use a `rancher-compose up` command and import the configuration into Rancher. To assign services/containers to specific hosts, you can use [host labels](http://docs.rancher.com/rancher/rancher-ui/infrastructure/hosts/#host-labels) and [scheduling rules in the service](http://docs.rancher.com/rancher/rancher-ui/applications/stacks/adding-services/#scheduling-services). The scheduling rules in the service will translate into [scheduling using labels in rancher-compose](http://docs.rancher.com/rancher/rancher-compose/scheduling/).
