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

One good solution is to run only desired services like this:

docker-compose up --build $(

and services.txt file look like this:

services1 services2, etc

of course if dependancy (depends_on), need to run related services together.

--build is optional, just for example.
