Restart Services

The devbox restart command combines devbox down and devbox up. It stops and removes all services, then updates the project, fetches recent sources, and builds services before starting them.

Note

Like other DevBox commands, this command supports automatic project detection based on your current directory. If automatic detection fails, you can specify the project name explicitly.

Usage

devbox restart [--name <project-name>] [--profile <profile-name>]

Option	Required	Description
--name <project-name>	no	Project name. If not specified, will be detected from Git source
--profile <profile-name>	no	Profile to use from your docker-compose.yml file

Example

# Restart current project
devbox restart

# Restart specific project
devbox --name project-name restart
