command: docker compose up
short: Create and start containers
long: |-
    Builds, (re)creates, starts, and attaches to containers for a service.

    Unless they are already running, this command also starts any linked services.

    The `docker compose up` command aggregates the output of each container (like `docker compose logs --follow` does).
    One can optionally select a subset of services to attach to using `--attach` flag, or exclude some services using
    `--no-attach` to prevent output to be flooded by some verbose services.

    When the command exits, all containers are stopped. Running `docker compose up --detach` starts the containers in the
    background and leaves them running.

    If there are existing containers for a service, and the service’s configuration or image was changed after the
    container’s creation, `docker compose up` picks up the changes by stopping and recreating the containers
    (preserving mounted volumes). To prevent Compose from picking up changes, use the `--no-recreate` flag.

    If you want to force Compose to stop and recreate all containers, use the `--force-recreate` flag.

    If the process encounters an error, the exit code for this command is `1`.
    If the process is interrupted using `SIGINT` (ctrl + C) or `SIGTERM`, the containers are stopped, and the exit code is `0`.
