podman-compose: Start all containers using an alternate compose file.
$ podman-compose ${filename} up
try on your machine

The command podman-compose ${filename} up is used to start and run a collection of containers based on the instructions provided in a Compose file.

Here's what each part of the command means:

  • podman-compose: This is the command-line interface for Podman Compose, which is a tool used to define and manage multi-container applications using Compose files.
  • ${filename}: It is a placeholder for the name of the Compose file. You should replace it with the actual filename.
  • up: This is a subcommand that tells Podman Compose to start and run the containers based on the instructions in the Compose file.

When you run this command, Podman Compose will read the specified Compose file, create and start the containers defined in it. The containers will be built if they are not already built, and any specified services or networks will be created. The containers will run in the foreground, and you will see their logs and output in your terminal.

Note that Podman is a tool for managing containers, similar to Docker, and Podman Compose is a tool specifically designed to work with Podman and handle multi-container applications using Compose files.
