Disable autostart of docker-compose project

I have a docker-compose project using Docker for Mac that autostarts when I boot the computer.

I usually start the project with docker-compose up -d, but even running docker-compose stop before shutting down autostarts it again on boot.

I am not aware of specifically enabling this. How can I disable it?

Today I had the same issue that all containers are started when I boot my dev laptop, as restart: always was set in the .yml files.

As I don't want to touch the .yml files, I just found out (thx Bobby) how to alter this setting by:

docker update --restart=no <MY-CONTAINER-ID>

Try with docker-compose down instead of docker-compose stop

down

Stops containers and removes containers, networks, volumes, and images created by up. Networks and volumes defined as external are never removed.

stop

Stops running containers without removing them. They can be started again with docker-compose start.
