By default, after starting the app the CLI attaches to the container's output stream and prints logs to the terminal. Press Ctrl-C to detach.

Starting an app always applies the UNLESS_STOPPED restart policy, so the agent automatically restarts the container if it exits unexpectedly. The container only stays stopped when it is explicitly stopped (e.g. via wendy device apps stop).

Flags

FlagDescription
-d, --detachStart the app and return immediately without streaming output.

Examples

Start an app and stream its output:

wendy device apps start my-app

Start an app in the background (detached):

wendy device apps start --detach my-app
wendy device apps start -d my-app

When --detach is used, the CLI sends the start request to the agent and exits as soon as the container start is initiated, without waiting for or streaming any output.
