NAME

       podman-start - Start one or more containers

SYNOPSIS

       podman start [options] container ...

       podman container start [options] container ...

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

   --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. (This option is not available with the remote Podman 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.

   --all
       Start all the containers created by Podman, default is only running containers.

   --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:
