Docker-compose --force-recreate specific service

I have a container in my stack that needs to be recreated each time I docker-compose up. I can docker-compose up --force-recreate but this recreates all my containers. Is there syntax (maybe for the docker-compose.yml file) for specifying this kind of flag per-service?

You can simply remove the old container before running services, which means that new container will be created.

docker container rm <container-name> && docker-compose up

You can find <container-name> by running docker ps -a. As far as you don't change directory name or project name, container name should stay the same.

Note that after removing the container its named volumes will still be preserved.

If your service depends on (or links to) other services, you can try:

docker-compose up --force-recreate --no-deps service-name

This will only recreate the specified service, linked or depended services will keep untouched.
