podman-start - Start one or more containers
podman start [options] container ...
podman container start [options] container ...
Start one or more containers. You may use 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. If you attempt to start a running container with the --attach option, podman will simply attach to the container.
Attach container's STDOUT and STDERR. The default is false. This option cannot be used when starting multiple containers.
Specify the key sequence for detaching a container. Format is a single character [a-Z] or one or more ctrl-<value> characters where <value> is one of: a-z, @, ^, [, , or _. Specifying "" will disable this feature. The default is ctrl-p,ctrl-q.
Attach container's STDIN. The default is false.
Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client)
Proxy received signals to the process (non-TTY mode only). SIGCHLD, SIGSTOP, and SIGKILL are not proxied. The default is true when attaching, false otherwise.
Start all the containers created by Podman, default is only running containers.
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.

| Filter | Description |
| id | [ID] Container's ID (accepts regex) |

| ancestor | [ImageName] Image or descendant used to create container |
