Glossary: Docker Basics

docker compose up

Also written: docker compose up -d, --build, --no-build, docker compose pull

Builds what needs building, creates the network and volumes and starts all services; `-d` runs them in the background and `--build` rebuilds images first. With `--no-build` (after `docker compose pull`) it never builds, which suits a server that has no Dockerfile.
