Podman-compose for deploy image alone

[viswascope]

Hi Friends,

Is there any option to deploy the image without starting the container. I need to deploy the image alone.
similar like podman pull. But via podman-compose.
podman-compose -f file.yml up -d is pulling the image and starting the container be default. Any option to just deploy the image alone via podman-compose? No start

Thanks
Viswa..

this questions should be asked of podman-compose; not podman. the two projects are distinctly different.
