Finally i found a workaround : i overload the CMD but i need to reinstall plugins i use before run.
It was indeed the named volume which is persistent, so it kept the old files.
So the new docker-compose is like below (where user 1000 is the user on the Docker host who run NodeBB ). It does not use persistent volume for NodeBB but a simple bind of config.json, so everytime a new version is published, all files and directory will be recreated when pulled.
For better performance i share static content with a named volume static with an nginx container.
Note : it does not run setup, so usable for an existing installation.
