Starting container by alias

[jasonvarga]

Is it possible to start a container by its base alias?

For example, I typically only have one redis container. It would be nice to be able to do takeout start redis instead of needing to do takeout start id-of-redis-container, or takeout start and choose redis from the list.

If it's not possible, I'd be happy to try a PR if that sounds like a decent idea.

Hey @jasonvarga, have you tried running takeout start by itself? You're provided with a menu of stopped containers that you can select from. I don't think there is a way to run takeout start redis and have that container start up. I think it's because it's possible to have multiple redis containers, but it would be a nice-to-have for that command to work if you have only one redis container stopped.

Yeah I mentioned that's exactly what I do. I was just wondering if there was a shortcut. I guess not! Would you be open to a PR?

A PR would be awesome.
