## NAME
podman\-start - Start one or more containers
## SYNOPSIS
**podman start** [*options*] *container* ...
**podman container start** [*options*] *container* ...
## DESCRIPTION
Start one or more containers using container IDs or names as input. The *attach* and *interactive*
options cannot be used to override the *--tty* and *--interactive* options from when the container
was created. Starting an already running container with the *--attach* option, Podman simply
attaches to the container.
## OPTIONS
#### **--all**
Start all the containers, default is only running containers.
#### **--attach**, **-a**
Attach container's STDOUT and STDERR. The default is false. This option cannot be used when
starting multiple containers.
@@option detach-keys
#### **--filter**, **-f**
Filter what containers are going to be started from the given arguments.
Multiple filters can be given with multiple uses of the --filter flag.
Filters with the same key work inclusive with the only exception being
`label` which is exclusive. Filters with different keys always work exclusive.
Valid filters are listed below:
| **Filter** | **Description** |
|------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| id | [ID] Container's ID (CID prefix match by default; accepts regex) |
| name | [Name] Container's name (accepts regex) |
| label | [Key] or [Key=Value] Label assigned to a container |
| exited | [Int] Container's exit code |
| status | [Status] Container's status: 'created', 'initialized', 'exited', 'paused', 'running', 'unknown' |
| ancestor | [ImageName] Image or descendant used to create container |
| before | [ID] or [Name] Containers created before this container |
| since | [ID] or [Name] Containers created since this container |
| volume | [VolumeName] or [MountpointDestination] Volume mounted in container |
| health | [Status] healthy or unhealthy |
| pod | [Pod] name or full or partial ID of pod |
| network | [Network] name or full ID of network |
| until | [DateTime] Containers created before the given duration or time. |
| command | [Command] the command the container is executing, only argv[0] is taken |

The default is **true** when attaching, **false** otherwise.
