💖 CONTAINER-START(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the container-start page from the General Commands Manual — yes, that's the container-start(1) manual, and no, it's not scary, i promise. it's literally just "wake up a container". that's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

container-start — start a container. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behaviour honestly. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

container start ['OPTIONS']
cnt s ['OPTIONS']

so you can type the whole thing, or you can be efficient and use cnt s. both slap. 💅

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

The container start command starts a container.

like. it starts it. that's the plot. no twist. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

here's the good stuff, the container start options available to you:

  • -n, --name='NAME' — say which container you want, by name. and here's the fun part: if you set it to 'ALL', it starts all stopped containers. all of them. every single one. 🫶
  • -f, --force' — removes a stray lock file if one is sitting there existing. cleaning up that mess for you, lowkey heroic. 🧹
  • -v, --verbose — explains what's being done, step by step, like a friend narrating. no mystery, no cap. 🔍

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

start the example.net container:

sudo container start -n example.net

start all the containers:

sudo container start -n ALL
not me hitting -n ALL and starting an entire fleet. main character energy fr fr. 💀
