How do I start a Docker Compose stack and ensure Docker Desktop is running?▼

How do I check the health status of my Docker Compose services?▼

To check the health status of Docker Compose services, this Skill monitors the launched containers after starting up. It verifies the daemon, boots the stack, and then actively monitors and reports the final health outcome of the services.

Does starting a Docker Compose stack require Docker Desktop to be manually launched first?▼

Starting a Docker Compose stack does not require Docker Desktop to be manually launched first. This Skill verifies Docker Desktop status and automatically starts it if required, specifically handling local development environments on Windows or macOS.

What is needed to automate starting the Palafito prod stack locally?▼

Automating the Palafito prod stack locally requires a setup where the application runs via Docker Compose. This Skill verifies the Docker daemon, launches the palafito-prod stack, monitors health status, and reminds you about admin account setup on first run.

What happens if the Docker daemon is not running when I start my Compose stack?▼

If the Docker daemon is not running when you start your Compose stack, this Skill detects the missing daemon and attempts to launch Docker Desktop automatically. It verifies the daemon status before proceeding to boot the compose stack.
