How to rebuild and restart a running Docker Compose service

Today I Learnt how to correctly rebuild and restart a running Docker Compose service.

I had a set of services running under Docker Compose and needed to rebuild and restart one of these services as I had made some changes and wanted the service redeployed without stopping and starting everything.

I thought I might be able to do something like the following:

docker compose build my-service
docker compose restart my-service

However, for some reason this didn't seem to work. After a quick bit of searching online I found the following command which did what I wanted:

docker compose up -d --no-deps --build --force-recreate my-service
