Run docker in background

bash
docker compose up -d --build
bash
docker compose up -d
bash
docker volume ls

Stop the container

bash
docker compose down

List volumes

bash
docker compose volumes
DRIVER    VOLUME NAME
local     docker-compose-file_postgres_data

inspect

bash
 docker inspect docker-compose-file_postgres_data

List running docker

bash
docker compose ps -a

To access the container

bash
docker compose exec servicename bash

Build images

bash
docker compose down
docker compose up -d --build

Update a specific service only

bash
docker compose up -d --build <service_name>

Bonus Tip (Clean Up): Repeatedly rebuilding images will leave behind old, unnamed images known as "dangling images". You can reclaim disk space at any time by running:

bash
docker image prune -f
docker/docker-compose.md
