Mistake when updating docker-compose.yml

After updating the command or env parameters in docker-compose.yml file, I restarted the container with docker-compose restart to make the change effect.

However, I realize that the changes were not applied, and the container is still using the old config.

To apply the changes, I have to re-create the container:

docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d

This will stop and remove the existing container and create a new one with the updated config.
