docker compose build

Description Build or rebuild services
Usage docker compose build [OPTIONS] [SERVICE...]

Description

Services are built once and then tagged, by default as project-service.

If the Compose file specifies an image name, the image is tagged with that name, substituting any variables beforehand. See variable interpolation.

If you change a service's Dockerfile or the contents of its build directory, run docker compose build to rebuild it.
