There are scope of services which defined in docker-compose.yml. These service have been started. I need to rebuild only one of these and start it without up other services. I run the following commands:
docker-compose up -d # run all services
docker-compose stop nginx # stop only one. but it still running !!!
docker-compose build --no-cache nginx
docker-compose up -d --no-deps # link nginx to other servicesAt the end i got old nginx container. By the way docker-compose doesn't kill all running containers !

$ docker-compose up -d --no-deps --build <service_name>--no-deps - Don't start linked services.
3--build - Build images before starting containers.
With docker-compose 1.19 up
docker-compose up --build --force-recreate --no-deps [-d] [<service_name>..]Without one or more service_name arguments all images will be built if missing and all containers will be recreated.
From the help menu
Options: -d, --detach Detached mode: Run containers in the background, print new container names. Incompatible with --abort-on-container-exit. --no-deps Don't start linked services. --force-recreate Recreate containers even if their configuration and image haven't changed. --build Build images before starting containers.Without cache
To force a rebuild to ignore cached layers, we have to first build a new image
docker-compose build --no-cache [<service_name>..]From the help menu
Options: --force-rm Always remove intermediate containers. -m, --memory MEM Set memory limit for the build container. --no-cache Do not use cache when building the image. --no-rm Do not remove intermediate containers after a successful build.Then recreate the container
docker-compose up --force-recreate --no-deps [-d] [<service_name>..]This should fix your problem:
docker-compose ps # lists all services (id, name)
docker-compose stop <id/name> #this will stop only the selected container
docker-compose rm <id/name> # this will remove the docker container permanently
docker-compose up # builds/rebuilds all not already built container As @HarlemSquirrel posted, it is the best and I think the correct solution.
But, to answer the OP specific problem, it should be something like the following command, as he doesn't want to recreate ALL services in the docker-compose.yml file, but only the nginx one:
docker-compose up -d --force-recreate --no-deps --build nginxOptions description:

Incompatible with --abort-on-container-exit. --force-recreate Recreate containers even if their configuration and image haven't changed. --build Build images before starting containers. --no-deps Don't start linked services.Maybe these steps are not quite correct, but I do like this:
stop docker compose: $ docker-compose down
WARNING: The following prune -a will delete all images, you may not want this as it could effect other projects. you can read more here
remove the container: $ docker system prune -a
start docker compose: $ docker-compose up -d
docker-compose stop nginx # stop if running
docker-compose rm -f nginx # remove without confirmation
docker-compose build nginx # build
docker-compose up -d nginx # create and start in backgroundRemoving container with rm is essential. Without removing, Docker will start old container.
For me it only fetched new dependencies from Docker Hub with both --no-cache and --pull (which are available for docker-compose build.
# other steps before rebuild
docker-compose build --no-cache --pull nginx # rebuild nginx
# other steps after rebuild, e.g. up (see other answers)Simply use :
docker-compose build [yml_service_name]Replace [yml_service_name] with your service name in docker-compose.yml file. You can use docker-compose restart to make sure changes are effected. You can use --no-cache to ignore the cache.
The problem is:
$ docker-compose stop nginxdidn't work (you said it is still running). If you are going to rebuild it anyway, you can try killing it:
$ docker-compose kill nginxIf it still doesn't work, try to stop it with docker directly:
$ docker stop nginxor delete it
$ docker rm -f nginxIf that still doesn't work, check your version of docker, you might want to upgrade.
It might be a bug, you could check if one matches your system/version. Here are a couple, for ex:
As a workaround, you could try to kill the process.
$ ps aux | grep docker
$ kill 225654 # example process idOnly:
$ docker-compose restart [yml_service_name]
