Services are built once and then tagged, by default as `project_service`. For
example, `composetest_db`. If the Compose file specifies an
[image](../compose-file/compose-file-v3.md#image) name, the image is
tagged with that name, substituting any variables beforehand. See
[variable substitution](../compose-file/compose-file-v3.md#variable-substitution).
If you change a service's Dockerfile or the contents of its
build directory, run `docker-compose build` to rebuild it.
