Rebuild Docker container on file changes

Question

For running an ASP.NET Core application, I generated a dockerfile which build the application and copys the source code in the container, which is fetched by Git using Jenki

Answer 1

You can run build for a specific service by running docker-compose up --build where the service name must match how did you call it in your docker-compose file.

Example Let's assume that your docker-compose file contains many services (.net app - database - let's encrypt... etc) and you want to update only the .net app which named as application in docker-compose file. You can then simply run docker-compose up --build application

Extra parameters In case you want to add extra parameters to your command such as -d for running in the background, the parameter must be before the service name: docker-compose up --build -d application
