DOCKER-COMPOSE-WAIT(1)

📦 version 2.26.1, in debian trixie

💖 docker-compose-wait(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for docker-compose-wait, aka the one that lives in the docker-compose(1) family and just… waits. patiently. like a main character standing in line for a matcha. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

docker-compose-wait — block until the first service container stops 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

docker compose wait SERVICE [SERVICE...] [OPTIONS]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Block until the first service container stops.

that's it. that's the whole job. it just sits there being iconic while it waits for the first one of your service containers to clock out. no cap. 😭

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --down-project[=false] — drops the project when the first container stops. lowkey dramatic of it, but okay 💀
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for wait. yes, the help for the thing that waits. very meta of it 🌈

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

  • --dry-run[=false] — execute the command in dry run mode. like a rehearsal, but make it Unix 🧚

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

docker-compose(1) — go read the parent, it raised this one 💜

fr fr: every flag above keeps its exact default ([=false]), so don't go changing things on me. 🍓

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this was DOCKER-COMPOSE-WAIT(1) from Mar 2025, and the source/version sitch is the same — DOCKER-COMPOSE-WAIT(1), Mar 2025. slay, go wait on something. 💅✨
