--- description: Restarts Docker Compose services. keywords: fig, composition, compose, docker, orchestration, cli, restart title: docker-compose restart notoc: true --- ```none Usage: restart [options] [SERVICE...] Options: -t, --timeout TIMEOUT Specify a shutdown timeout in seconds. (default: 10) ``` Restarts all stopped and running services. If you make changes to your `docker-compose.yml` configuration these changes are not reflected after running this command. For example, changes to environment variables (which are added after a container is built, but before the container's command is executed) are not updated after restarting. If you are looking to configure a service's restart policy, please refer to [restart](../compose-file/compose-file-v3.md#restart) in Compose file v3 and [restart](../compose-file/compose-file-v2.md#restart) in Compose v2. Note that if you are [deploying a stack in swarm mode](../../engine/reference/commandline/stack_deploy.md), you should use [restart_policy](../compose-file/compose-file-v3.md#restart_policy), instead.
