I have set up the p5.js web editor in my local system through docker which i’m relatively new to it.  
i find that hot reloading is not occuring using the docker commands which were given in contributor docs.  
these are the commands in docs:

1. `$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-development.yml build`
2. `$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-development.yml up`  
as it is very tough to rebuild the images everytime i make changes, please help me to enable hot reloading with docker.

Okay, This should not be an issue but can you provide me some details about it.

- Have you installed Docker Compose?
- Which version of docker compose you are using?
- What OS are you using?

Personally on my system i am using `docker compose` instead of `docker-compose` which i think is a new version of docker and is working perfectly with hot reloading and other stuff. You can try that.
