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 al-
     ready 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  option
     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 multiple
     uses of the --filter flag.  Filters with the same key work  inclusive  with
     the  only	exception being label which is exclusive. Filters with different
     keys always work exclusive.

     Valid filters are listed below:

     +----------------------+-------------------------------+

   --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  avail-
     able, even if the contained process doesn't request it.

   --latest, -l
     Instead  of  providing  the container name or ID, use the last created con-
     tainer.  Note: the last started container can be from other users of Podman
     on the host machine.  (This option is not available with the remote  Podman
     client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

   --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.

EXAMPLE
     Start specified container:

     podman start mywebserver

     Start multiple containers:

     podman start 860a4b231279 5421ab43b45

     Start specified container in interactive mode with terminal attached:

     podman start --interactive --attach 860a4b231279

     Start last created container in interactive mode (This option is not avail-
     able with the remote Podman client, including Mac	and  Windows  (excluding
     WSL2) machines):

     podman start -i -l

     Start containers by label:

     $ podman start --filter label=app=frontend
