Send docker-compose to daemon mode without restart

[augnustin]

As from this SO question:

I like to docker-compose up first to check that everything started correctly.

Once everything's fine, I'd like to being able to send the command to daemon mode, without having to docker-compose stop and docker-compose -d up (two steps + service interruption).

Maybe you could run docker-compose -d up, then docker-compose logs to check the status of your app. logs can then be exited at any time without affecting your application.

Indeed, but since the -d option is not default, I tend to forget about it in the first place and then find myself stuck.

It is not so bad, but I reckon the feature would make sense, wouldn't it?

There are reasons for Unix's Ctrl-Z to have been created

What about Ctrl-Z, bg and maybe disown, then? It seems to me UNIX already gives you all the tools you need in that case.

I tried Ctrl-z, bg but could not exit the ssh session, receiving There are stopped jobs. I don't know about disown though, I'll try it out.

So, can you confirm disown does the trick without side effects ?
