You don’t have to revert 8 services, you can stop/start them independently: docker compose stop <service name>.

This is actually how I update my services, I just stop the ones I want to update, pull, and restart them. I do them one or two at a time, mostly to mitigate issues. The same is true for pulling down new versions, my process is:

1. edit the docker-compose file to update the image version(s) (e.g. from 1.0 -> 1.1, or 1.1 -> 2.0)
2. pull new images (doesn’t impact running services)
3. docker compose up -d brings up any stopped services using new image(s)
4. test
5. go back to 1 until all services are done

I do this whenever I remember, and it works pretty well.
