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
```
