podman-compose: Run a one-time command in a service with no ports mapped.
$ podman-compose run ${service_name} ${command}
try on your machine

The podman-compose run ${service_name} ${command} command is used to run a specific command within a service container defined in a Podman Compose project.

Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:

  • podman-compose: This is the command-line tool used to manage Podman Compose projects. It helps in defining and running multi-container applications using Podman containers.
  • run: This sub-command is used to run a specific command within a service container.
  • ${service_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the service defined in the Podman Compose project. You need to replace ${service_name} with the actual name of the service you want to run the command in.
  • ${command}: This is a placeholder for the command you want to run within the service container. You need to replace ${command} with the actual command you want to execute.

By running the podman-compose run ${service_name} ${command} command, you can execute a command directly in a specific service container without the need to enter it interactively. This is helpful for running one-time tasks or executing commands in a specific environment as defined by the service container.
