docker-compose up
Usage: up [options] [--scale SERVICE=NUM...] [SERVICE...]
Options:
-d, --detach Detached mode: Run containers in the background,
print new container names. Incompatible with
--abort-on-container-exit.
--no-color Produce monochrome output.
--quiet-pull Pull without printing progress information
--no-deps Don't start linked services.
--force-recreate Recreate containers even if their configuration
and image haven't changed.
--always-recreate-deps Recreate dependent containers.
Incompatible with --no-recreate.
--no-recreate If containers already exist, don't recreate
them. Incompatible with --force-recreate and -V.
--no-build Don't build an image, even if it's missing.
--no-start Don't start the services after creating them.
--build Build images before starting containers.
--abort-on-container-exit Stops all containers if any container was
stopped. Incompatible with -d.
-t, --timeout TIMEOUT Use this timeout in seconds for container
shutdown when attached or when containers are
already running. (default: 10)
-V, --renew-anon-volumes Recreate anonymous volumes instead of retrieving
data from the previous containers.
--remove-orphans Remove containers for services not defined
in the Compose file.
--exit-code-from SERVICE Return the exit code of the selected service
container. Implies --abort-on-container-exit.
--scale SERVICE=NUM Scale SERVICE to NUM instances. Overrides the
`scale` setting in the Compose file if present.
Builds, (re)creates, starts, and attaches to containers for a service.
Unless they are already running, this command also starts any linked services.
The docker-compose up command aggregates the output of each container (essentially running docker-compose logs -f). When the command exits, all containers are stopped. Running docker-compose up -d starts the containers in the background and leaves them running.
If there are existing containers for a service, and the service’s configuration or image was changed after the container’s creation, docker-compose up picks up the changes by stopping and recreating the containers (preserving mounted volumes). To prevent Compose from picking up changes, use the --no-recreate flag.
If you want to force Compose to stop and recreate all containers, use the --force-recreate flag.
If the process encounters an error, the exit code for this command is 1.
If the process is interrupted using SIGINT (ctrl + C) or SIGTERM, the containers are stopped, and the exit code is 0.
If SIGINT or SIGTERM is sent again during this shutdown phase, the running containers are killed, and the exit code is 2.
