ENV caching issue on local development (PHP-FPM, NGINX & LARAVEL) - php

Question

We are running a laravel application by docker. We are creating a docker container using PHP-FPM (php:7.0-fpm official image) & NGINX. We use a common .env file for both docker and laravel applications.
we up & running our application by - docker-compose --env-file=./.env -f docker-compose.yml up -d
But the problem is when we change our .env file, the application not detected the change. We want to get every .env file change without re-creating the container.
Dockerfile -
FROM php:7.0-fpm
# PHP_CPPFLAGS are used by the docker-php-ext-* scripts
ENV PHP_CPPFLAGS="$PHP_CPPFLAGS -std=c++11"
# Install dependencies

RUN chmod +x /etc/entrypoint.sh
RUN usermod -u 1000 www-data
# Set working directory
WORKDIR /var/www
EXPOSE 80 443
Docker Compose -
version: '3.5'
services:
api-service:
environment:
SERVICE_NAME: app
VIRTUAL_HOST: ${API_DOMAIN}
working_dir: /var/www
entrypoint: /etc/entrypoint.sh
volumes:
- ../../:/var/www
- ../nginx/conf.d/nginx-local.conf:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
- ../php/local.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/local.ini
- ../php/memory_limit.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/memory_limit.ini
- ../php/php.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/php.override.ini
- ../php/www.conf:/usr/local/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
ports:
- ${PORT}:80
networks:
api-service-network:
external:
name: ${EXTERNAL_NETWORK}
entrypoint -
#!/usr/bin/env bash
service nginx start
php-fpm
So is it possible to reload ENV (on local development by PHP-FPM) without recreating the container.

Try using env_file in docker-compose
