docker-compose remove services on exit (or recreate on start)

Question

I have docker-compose file that runs 4 services:

web
db
redis
selenium

I would like the containers of services redis and selenium to always start fresh when I execute docker-compose, while preserving the state of web and db.

I don't mind if this is achieved destroyng the containers on exit or recreating new ones on start. At the moment I run this command:

docker-compose rm selenium && docker-compose rm redis && docker-compose up

I would prefer to have the same behavior using the docker-compose.yml file, instead of the command line.

You can use docker-compose --force-recreate flag when executing up, to always recreate containers and configure volumes to persist databases data (on a local directory or a docker volume).
