+title: "Ensuring Docker Compose Startup with Systemd"

+
+I've been having trouble getting some docker containers such as `nginx` to start automatically on bootup, even with the `restart: always` flag.
+
+To compensate, I wrote a small systemd script and enabled it on startup.
+
+`/etc/systemd/system/docker-compose.service`
+
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=Docker Compose Application Service
+Requires=docker.service
+After=docker.service
+
+[Service]
+Type=oneshot
+User=brandonrozek
+Group=brandonrozek
+RemainAfterExit=yes
+WorkingDirectory=/home/brandonrozek/docker/
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker-compose up -d
+ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker-compose down
+TimeoutStartSec=0
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+
+```
+
+To enable on startup
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl enable docker-compose
+```
+
+To start now
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl start docker-compose
+```
+
