Is it possible to specify the service name to start from a docker-compose.yml file?

[AndrewPearson]

Is it possible using the FluentDocker api to specify the name of a service to start? i.e. the equivalent of the following cli command:

docker-compose up SERVICE

What should I add to code like the following to do this?

var svc = new Builder()
                        .UseContainer()
                        .UseCompose()
                        .FromFile(dockerComposeFile)
                        .RemoveOrphans()
                        .Build().Start();

Hi @AndrewPearson - sorry, right now it is not possible from the Fluent API. You may use the command layer to gain the required functionality.

Check the Commands/Compose.cs file e..g in ComposeUp(...), it will invoke the ComposeCommand using

      host.ComposeUpCommand(new ComposeUpCommandArgs
      {
        AltProjectName = altProjectName,
        ForceRecreate = forceRecreate,
        NoRecreate = noRecreate,
        DontBuild = dontBuild,
        BuildBeforeCreate = buildBeforeCreate,
        Timeout = timeout,
        RemoveOrphans = removeOrphans,
        UseColor = useColor,
        NoStart = noStart,
        Services = services, // If services is null or zero length it will do all - otherwise you can select the services
        Env = env,
        Certificates = certificates,
        ComposeFiles = composeFile
      });

where the host is the DockerUri.

Cheers,
Mario :)
