docker:compose:start:daemonized

Runs a set of docker containers (in the background) like configured in the docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose up -d
try on your machine

The command "docker-compose up -d" is used to start and run Docker containers defined in a docker-compose.yml file in detached mode. Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "docker-compose" is the command-line tool for running Docker applications using Compose, which is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications.
  • "up" is a sub-command of docker-compose used to start the containers defined in the docker-compose.yml file. It creates and starts containers if they don't exist, and starts the existing containers.
  • "-d" is a flag used to run containers in detached mode. Detached mode means that containers will run in the background and not hold the terminal window open. When containers are running in detached mode, you can continue to use the terminal for other commands without being attached to the container's output.

Overall, the command "docker-compose up -d" is used to start the Docker containers defined in the docker-compose.yml file in the background, allowing you to continue using the terminal for other tasks.
