I am unable to refresh the Laravel cache and I think the problem could be related to using multiple Docker containers running the Laravel stack. I've tried php artisan cache:clear and php artisan config:cache. I've deleted bootstrap/cache/config.php but the file just reappears with the old config like some undead creature haunting me.
The only way I am able to get the cache to refresh is by completely removing containers with docker-compose down and then running the containers again.
In my docker-compose below you can see that my app, queue and scheduler containers all run the Laravel stack with the codebase mounted from the host. Could this be contributing to the problem?

Can somebody tell me how I can reload the cache without the need to destroy the containers?
For the sake of completeness, I set up the Docker environment using this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-laravel-nginx-and-mysql-with-docker-compose
I am running the queue and scheduler containers using this guide: https://laravel-news.com/laravel-scheduler-queue-docker . However I've modified the queue to run Supervisor.
start.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e
role=${CONTAINER_ROLE:-app}
env=${APP_ENV:-production}
if [ "$env" != "local" ]; then
echo "Caching configuration..."
(php artisan config:cache && php artisan view:cache) # && php artisan route:cache - can't cache route closures
fi
if [ "$role" = "app" ]; then
exec php-fpm
elif [ "$role" = "queue" ]; then
echo "Running the queue..."
/usr/bin/supervisord
elif [ "$role" = "scheduler" ]; then
while [ true ]
do
php artisan schedule:run --verbose --no-interaction &
sleep 60
done
else
echo "Could not match the container role \"$role\""
exit 1
fi
