docker compose build

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 imageopen_in_new name, the image is tagged with that name, substituting any variables beforehand. See variable interpolationopen_in_new.

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