Start container setup

This section shows you how to use Docker® Compose to start containers and check their status.

1. Use the command sudo make run-containers to start the container with Docker® Compose

# sudo make run-containers
docker compose up -d
[+] Running 3/3
   Network container-network  Created    0.3s
   Container mosquitto        Started    1.2s
   Container tc31-xar-base    Started    1.2s

2. According to the file docker-compose.yaml, this command starts the containers tc31-xar-base and mosquitto in the defined container network container-network on the host.

3. To check the status of the containers, execute the command sudo make list-containers:

# sudo make list-containers
docker compose ps
