Examples
In the test.yml file:
volumes:- config:/config importantping: image: ubuntu dns: 8.8.8.8 command: ping google.comRunning tug up test will create a container called test_importantping_1. Additional tug up test commands will test differences to the yml file and only restart the container if changes are detected.
Global options (volumes in the above example) are applied to all docker services.
The yml format supports most options from the docker compose yml format, and a few more from the docker cli:
