docker-compose up for only certain containers

Question

I have a docker-compose.yml which contain several containers. Three of them are for my app (client, server and database) and the rest are for various dev tools

Answer 1

You can start containers by using:

$ docker-compose up -d client

This will run containers in the background and output will be avaiable from

$ docker-compose logs

and it will consist of all your started containers
