podman-start(1) General Commands Manual podman-start(1) NAME podman-start - Start one or more containers SYNOPSIS podman start [options] container ... podman container start [options] container ... DESCRIPTION Start one or more containers using container IDs or names as input. The attach and interactive options cannot be used to override the --tty and --interactive options from when the container was created. Starting an already running container with the --attach option, Podman simply attaches to the container. OPTIONS --all Start all the containers, default is only running containers. --attach, -a Attach container's STDOUT and STDERR. The default is false. This op- tion cannot be used when starting multiple containers. --detach-keys=sequence Specify the key sequence for detaching a container. Format is a single character [a-Z] or one or more ctrl-<value> characters where <value> is one of: a-z, @, ^, [, , or _. Specifying "" disables this feature. The default is ctrl-p,ctrl-q. This option can also be set in containers.conf(5) file. --filter, -f=filter Filter what containers start. Multiple filters can be given with mul- tiple uses of the --filter flag. Filters with the same key work inclu- sive with the only exception being label which is exclusive. Filters with different keys always work exclusive. Valid filters are listed below: +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | Filter | Description | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | id | [ID] Container's ID (CID pre- | | | fix match by default; accepts | | | regex) | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | name | [Name] Container's name (ac- | | | cepts regex) | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | label | [Key] or [Key=Value] Label | | | assigned to a container | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | label! | [Key] or [Key=Value] Label | | | NOT assigned to a container | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | exited | [Int] Container's exit code | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | status | [Status] Container's status: | | | 'created', 'initialized', | | | 'exited', 'paused', 'run- | | | ning', 'unknown' | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | ancestor | [ImageName] Image or descen- | | | dant used to create container | | | (accepts regex) | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | before | [ID] or [Name] Containers | | | created before this container | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | since | [ID] or [Name] Containers | | | created since this container | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | volume | [VolumeName] or [Mountpoint- | | | Destination] Volume mounted | | | in container | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | health | [Status] healthy or unhealthy | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | pod | [Pod] name or full or partial | | | ID of pod | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | network | [Network] name or full ID of | | | network | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | restart-policy | [Policy] Container's restart | | | policy (e.g., 'no', 'on-fail- | | | ure', 'always', 'unless- | | | stopped') | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | until | [DateTime] Containers created | | | before the given duration or | | | time. | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | command | [Command] the command the | | | container is executing, only | | | argv[0] is taken | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ | should-start-on-boot | [Bool] Containers that need | | | to be restarted after system | | | reboot. True for containers | | | with restart policy 'always', | | | or 'unless-stopped' that were | | | not explicitly stopped by the | | | user | +----------------------+-------------------------------+ --interactive, -i When set to true, make stdin available to the contained process. If false, the stdin of the contained process is empty and immediately closed. If attached, stdin is piped to the contained process. If detached, reading stdin will block until later attached. Caveat: Podman will consume input from stdin as soon as it becomes available, even if the contained process doesn't request it. --latest, -l Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. Note: the last started container can be from other users of Podman on the host machine. (This option is not available with the re- mote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) ma- chines) --sig-proxy Proxy received signals to the container process. SIGCHLD, SIGURG, SIGSTOP, and SIGKILL are not proxied. The default is true when attaching, false otherwise.
