Hi all. I have compose.yml file which consists of several services which has “watch” option. at some point i want to “watch” only one service and i use a command docker compose watch service2 --no-up but it watches all services. are there any way to start watching only one service?

Hi,
I’ve been looking for an answer to this for many days now. Unfortunately it seems that service specified in the watch command does not work that way as I also would expect.
In order to watch only one service, you should run docker compose up service2 chained with docker compose watch --no-up as per reply in this thread: [BUG] The `docker compose watch my-service` command always launches all services defined with the compose file · Issue #11438 · docker/compose · GitHub
This worked for me: docker-compose up --build --watch service
