Documented steps

  1. Run `podman compose build` from the project directory to build every service that has a `build:` key.
  2. Build one service with `podman compose build <service>`; no args builds all that have a build context.
  3. Force a clean rebuild ignoring the layer cache with `podman compose build --no-cache <service>`.
  4. Then start with `podman compose up -d`, which reuses the freshly built image.
  5. Compose `build:` supports context, dockerfile, args, and target per compose-spec.io. Docs: https://github.com/containers/podman-compose
