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 created by Podman, 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 what containers are going to be started from the given arguments.  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, keep stdin open even if not attached. The default is false.

   --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
       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.
