If you want to pause your Docker Compose environment while keeping the state of all its services, run: docker-compose pause

You can then resume your services with: docker-compose unpause

To shut down your Docker Compose environment and remove all of its containers, networks, and volumes, run: docker-compose down

If you want to recreate your Docker Compose environment , run: docker-compose up --force-recreate
