I have several docker-compose.yml files, running ok with docker-compose up, individually.
Each docker-compose runs several containers.
After they are up, I can't see what containers are up with docker ps.
I can see something with docker-compose ps, but only for a specific docker-compose.yml.
I want access to global polling of the containers state.
How can I list all running containers, no matter their origin?

Here is kind of a guess based on the clues of your question.
When you do run containers via docker-compose up, please do mind that hitting CTRL C will actually stop your containers.
Here is an example of doing this:
$ docker-compose up
[ ] Running 1/0
⠿ Container docker-test-1 Created 0.0s
Attaching to docker-test-1
^CGracefully stopping... (press Ctrl C again to force)
[ ] Running 1/1
⠿ Container docker-test-1 Stopped 10.2s
canceled
The important part here being: ^CGracefully stopping...
If you want to keep them running, you will have to run docker-compose up in a detached mode, with the help of the -d option.
-d, --detach Detached mode: Run containers in the background, print new container names. Incompatible with --abort-on-container-exit.
Source: https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/up/
So doing,
docker-compose up -d && docker ps
Should actually give you what you expected.
E.g.:
$ docker-compose up -d && docker ps
[ ] Running 2/2
⠿ Network docker_default Created 0.1s
⠿ Container docker-test-1 Started 0.5s
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
ab9f422247c9 alpine "tail -f /dev/null" 1 second ago Up Less than a second docker-test-1
And if you want to see all container, regardless of their state, you can use the -a option of docker ps.
--all , -a Show all containers (default shows just running)
Source: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/ps/
E.g.:
$ docker-compose up
[ ] Running 2/2
⠿ Network docker_default Created 0.1s
⠿ Container docker-test-1 Created 0.1s
Attaching to docker-test-1
^CGracefully stopping... (press Ctrl C again to force)
[ ] Running 1/1
⠿ Container docker-test-1 Stopped 10.2s
canceled
$ docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
615bcc6f1e50 alpine "tail -f /dev/null" 18 seconds ago Exited (137) 3 seconds ago docker-test-1

Docker compose adds labels to each container that it creates. If you want to get all containers created by compose, you can perform a container ls and apply a filter.
docker container ls --filter label=com.docker.compose.project
This will show all running container created by compose, regardless of the project name.
For example, I created some containers from 3 different compose projects. With the filter, I get only those , but no other container that have not been created by compose and therefore don't container a project label.
$ base='{{.Status}}\t{{.ID}}\t{{.Names}}\t{{.Image}}\t{{.Ports}}\t{{.Networks}}\t{{.Mounts}}'
$ compose='{{.Label "com.docker.compose.project"}}\t{{.Label "com.docker.compose.service"}}'
$ docker container ls --all \
--filter label=com.docker.compose.project \
--format "table $compose\t$base"

If you want to see all container regardless of their state, you can add the --all or short -a flag to the PS command, like I did in my example. Otherwise, only running containers are shown.

To list all running containers in docker
$docker ps
When containers are running and are created as a part of docker definition present in docker-compose.yml files. In a basic scenario, i would do
$docker-compose up -d
to start the container and use the below command to check the containers are running
$ docker-compose ps
above command should contain the results from the compose command as well.
