Dock - Simplify Docker Compose Workflows.

The up command is used to start a Docker Compose environment in detached mode. This is one of the most commonly used commands in Dock.

Usage

To start an environment using Dock:

dock <environment> u

Examples

Starting the Development Environment

dock dev u

This command will:

Bring up the containers specified in docker-compose-dev.yml.
Run the containers in detached mode.

Starting the Production Environment

dock prod u

This command will:

Use docker-compose-prod.yml.
Ensure all services are started and running in detached mode.

Behind the Scenes

The up command internally maps to the following Docker Compose command:

docker-compose -f <compose-file> up -d

Dock simplifies the process by automatically selecting the correct docker-compose file based on the .dock configuration.

Tips

Check Logs After Start: Use the logs command to follow logs after starting the environment:
```
dock dev logs
```
Combine with Build: If you want to rebuild services before starting, use the b command instead:
```
dock dev b
```

The up command is an essential part of your Docker Compose workflow. Combine it with other commands like logs and status for seamless environment management.
