Note to self: a single service (“container”) out of a docker-compose.yaml file is rebuilt and restarted like this:
docker-compose create container_name
While this complains about deprecations, there is another way. Let’s say we want to re-create a container called “web” belonging to a composition:
# stop container docker-compose stop web # optionally destroy container. Make sure to mount volumes you care about! # docker-compose rm web # Make changes, eg. vi docker-compose.yml # Then either: docker-compose create web docker-compose start web # or docker-compose up -d --no-recreate web
