Here's a cheat sheet of Docker Compose commands along with an example of each one.. If you need more details on a particular command, just type the command and --help.
docker-compose up
Create and start Docker containers defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose up
docker-compose down
Stop and remove Docker containers defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose down
docker-compose start
Start Docker containers defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose startdocker-compose stop
Stop Docker containers defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose stop
docker-compose restart
Restart Docker containers defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose restart
docker-compose build
Build Docker images for services defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose build
docker-compose pull
Pull updated Docker images for services defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose pull
docker-compose logs
View the logs of Docker containers defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose logs
docker-compose ps
List the status of Docker containers defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose ps
docker-compose exec
Execute a command inside a running Docker container defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose exec my_service bash
docker-compose run
Run a one-time command in a new container of a service defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose run my_service command
docker-compose config
Validate and view the composed configuration file (docker-compose.yml).
$ docker-compose config
docker-compose top
Display the running processes of Docker containers defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose top
docker-compose scale
Change the number of containers for a service defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose up --scale my_service=3
docker-compose pause
Pause Docker containers defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose pause
docker-compose unpause
Unpause Docker containers defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose unpause
docker-compose rm
Remove stopped Docker containers defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose rm
docker-compose kill
Forcefully stop Docker containers defined in a docker-compose.yml file.
$ docker-compose kill
These Docker Compose commands allow you to manage multi-container Docker applications defined in a docker-compose.yml file. By utilizing these commands, you can easily create, start, stop, and manage your Docker services as a unified application stack.
