Use restart  always in your docker compose file   Docker-compose up -d will launch container from images again  Use docker-compose start to start the stopped containers  it never launches new containers from images   nginx         restart  always        image  nginx        ports        -  80 80        -  443 443    links        - other container other container   Also you can write the code up in the docker file so that it gets created first  if it has the dependency of other containers
