You have to run podman-compose down between up.
It is annoying and not the same behavior as docker-compose.

Is there anything that can be done about this?

Since we don't have health checks yet either (see #866, #23 and #921) I was going to work around that by running

podman compose up -d service1

while [ "$(podman compose ps -f json | jq '.[] | select(.Labels."com.docker.compose.service"=="service1").Status | contains("healthy")')" == "false" ]; do
    :
done

podman compose up -d service2

However, this issue prevents that as well. Seems the only options would be to have 2 separate compose files and use the script workaround or drop podman-compose and switch to docker-compose instead (which I'd been hoping to avoid).
