With docker compose which parameter should I use to run a yaml file

Question

Hi guys, a quick question!

With docker-compose, which parameter should I use to run a YAML file?

I’m using 

docker-compose -f service.yml —up

But if I use -d it won’t go on detached mode. Or am I using a wrong command??

Answer 1

Yep. Wrong command.

$ docker-compose build

And then run this command

$ docker-compose up

You don't need to use the YAML file name in the command. 

You just need to execute this command from the directory where the YAML file is present
