podman-start - Start one or more containers
podman start [options] container ...
podman container start [options] container ...
Start one or more containers. You may use 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. If you attempt to start a running container with the --attach option, podman will simply attach to the container.
--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 "" will disable this feature. The default is ctrl-p,ctrl-q.
--interactive, -i
Attach container's STDIN. The default is false.
--latest, -l
Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.
The latest option is not supported on the remote client.
--sig-proxy=true|false
Proxy received signals to the process (non-TTY mode only). SIGCHLD, SIGSTOP, and SIGKILL are not proxied. The default is true when attaching, false otherwise.
