docker-compose-up

docker compose up [options] [service...]

docker compose up builds, (re)creates, starts, and attaches to containers for the services defined in compose.yaml / docker-compose.yml. It also creates networks and volumes declared in the file.When run without -d, it streams aggregated logs from all attached containers and stops them on Ctrl+C. With --wait or -d, the command returns as soon as services are up (or healthy, with --wait).

-d, --detach

Run containers in the background and print container names.

Build images before starting containers.

Don't build images even if they are missing.

Pull image before running: always, missing (default), or never.

Recreate containers even if configuration and image are unchanged.

Don't recreate containers that already exist.

Recreate dependent containers. Incompatible with --no-recreate.

Recreate anonymous volumes instead of retrieving data from previous containers.

Don't start linked (dependent) services.

Scale the given service to num instances (overrides deploy.replicas).

Remove containers for services not defined in the Compose file.

Wait for services to be running or healthy. Implies --detach.

Maximum time to wait for services when using --wait.

Stop all containers if any container stops. Incompatible with -d.

Stop all containers if any container exited with non-zero status.

Restrict log output to the specified service(s).

Do not attach (stream logs from) the specified service(s).

Shutdown timeout in seconds when stopping attached containers.

Show timestamps in container logs.

Pull images without printing progress information.

Don't start the services after creating them.

If the Compose file has changed, containers are recreated unless --no-recreate is set. Using --force-recreate and -V together discards all existing data in anonymous volumes for recreated services.
