Documented steps Assign a service to one or more profiles with `profiles: [debug]` (or add it to multiple). Services without a profiles attribute always run. Activate profiles at start: `docker compose --profile debug up`, or `COMPOSE_PROFILES=debug docker compose up`. Activate several: `docker compose --profile a --profile b up` or `COMPOSE_PROFILES=a,b docker compose up`; enable everything with `--profile "*"`. Explicitly targeting a profiled service (e.g. `docker compose run db-migrations`) runs it without needing the profile enabled. Docs: https://docs.docker.com/compose/how-tos/profiles/ Known gotchas Core services should NOT be assigned profiles so they always start with `docker compose up`. `docker compose down` without profile flags only stops services without a profile. Profile names must match regex [a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+. Profiled dependencies of a targeted service start only if they share the profile, are started separately, or have no profile.
