DOCKER-COMPOSE-CREATE(1)

📦 version 2.26.1, in debian trixie

✨ DOCKER-COMPOSE-CREATE(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the docker-compose-create manual page — yes it's from the DOCKER-COMPOSE-CREATE(1) family, and yes it's giving "I make containers" energy 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

docker-compose-create — Creates containers for a service

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

docker compose create [OPTIONS] [SERVICE...]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Creates containers for a service

(that's it. that's the whole vibe. she creates containers for a service and she does it flawlessly 👑)

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --build[=false] — Build images before starting containers. lowkey preparing the fit before you walk in 🎀
  • --force-recreate[=false] — Recreate containers even if their configuration and image haven't changed. like, even if nothing changed, she's still getting a whole new look. no cap 🔥
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for create
  • --no-build[=false] — Don't build an image, even if it's policy
  • --no-recreate[=false] — If containers already exist, don't recreate them. Incompatible with --force-recreate.
🚨 bestie listen: --no-recreate and --force-recreate are NOT besties. they do not get along. pick a lane 💀
  • --pull="policy" — Pull image before running ("always"|"missing"|"never"|"build")
  • --quiet-pull[=false] — Pull without printing progress information. silent but slaying 🤫
  • --remove-orphans[=false] — Remove containers for services not defined in the Compose file. bye to the containers nobody claims 🙈
  • --scale=[] — Scale SERVICE to NUM instances. Overrides the scale setting in the Compose file if present. (yes, the flag wins. the flag is the main character here 💅)

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

  • --dry-run[=false] — Execute command in dry run mode. practice run, no actual moves, iconic behavior ✨
