docker-compose up -d --force-recreate

so you would need to restart the container

docker container restart ????id????

see
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/restart/

you would need to do

docker container ls

to list the containers to get it’s id to use in the restart command

You don’t have to “reboot”, connect MM then stop the “pm2” or whatever process manager you use.

If you are using pm2, try this. I have not used it but may work for you.

I don’t know is mmos documents how to reload the container. we don’t support that here.
