  • 1
    • Use the proper docker command to start an application using the compose.yaml file. Make sure to use the -d flag to detach from the output (remember, if you don't use the -d flag, the application will not return to a command prompt. If you accidentally do this, press CTRL+C to exit and try again.)

    • Use a docker compose sub-command to list the running applications and their state.
