In the sample project these services use the tools profile so they don't start with a normal docker compose up. Both reuse Dockerfile.dev and run the test or lint command\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```yaml\nservices:\n  nextjs-prod-standalone:\n    build:\n      context: .\n      dockerfile: Dockerfile\n    image: nextjs-sample:prod\n    container_name: nextjs-sample-prod\n    ports:\n      - \"3000:3000\"\n\n  nextjs-dev:\n    build:\n      context: .\n      dockerfile: Dockerfile.dev\n    image: nextjs-sample:dev\n    container_name: nextjs-sample-dev\n    ports:\n      - \"3000:3000\"\n    environment:\n      - WATCHPACK_POLLING=true\n    develop:\n      watch:\n        - action: sync\n          path: .\n          target: /app\n          ignore:\n            - node_modules/\n            - .next/\n        - action: rebuild\n          path: package.json\n\n  nextjs-test:\n    build:\n      context: .\n      dockerfile: Dockerfile.dev\n    image: nextjs-sample:dev\n    container_name: nextjs-sample-test\n    command:\n      [\n        \"sh\",\n        \"-c\",\n        \"if [ -f package-lock.json ]; then npm run test:run 2>/dev/null || npm\n```\n\nThe nextjs-test and nextjs-lint services reuse the same Dockerfile.dev used for development and override the default command to run tests or lint.
