Thanks for your help.

[thenexxuz-zz]

I have run into this exact issue. I solved this by making sure that I run sudo systemctl start docker and then running sudo docker-compose up

[KoWu]

Jup this happens if docker is not running (which is the default for arch/manjaro). Instead of some meaningless backtrace it should print some proper error message in this case. As far as I remember, earlier versions of compose did that.

[thenexxuz-zz]

I second this suggestion of proper error message like "Error: Docker process not running"

[Glioburd]

I have run into this exact issue. I solved this by making sure that I run sudo systemctl start docker and then running sudo docker-compose up

Oh, thanks a lot. It was indeed simply Docker which was not running. I was so sure I already started Docker that I didn't thought about it.

Yeah I agree too.

[asokani]

You shouldn't close this issue then. This needs proper error message.

[Glioburd]

You shouldn't close this issue then. This needs proper error message.

Heh you're right, I reopened it.

[gnubyte]

Receiving the same error message today on docker-compose version 1.27.4, build 40524192 debian 9 x64

Edit: I found it. Turns out that it was actually that I had docker compose installed but not docker itself.

[rvdende]

Was very confused getting this error. Just a simple "Are you sure docker is running?" would solve this.

[danielrussellLA]

if on a mac, just make sure docker is started.

cmd + space + type "docker" into the search bar + enter

[yamoinza]

I also wasted time trying to interpret this error message. I had gotten so used to docker always running at startup that I had forgotten I disabled it since even though I wasn't using it it was eating up cpu at times.

Thanks to this page, googling the error message saved me some time.

[flyq]

I have run into this exact issue. I solved this by making sure that I run sudo systemctl start docker and then running sudo docker-compose up

And in Mac, I solved by install Docker.app follow this

[renatoaraujoc]

Had to come to this issue to understand that my MacOS didn't start Docker on system init. Error message could be as simple as "Please, start your docker service sir, thank you very much and have a good day" instead of a stacktrace full of random stuff.

[Tzikas]

sudo systemctl start docker

sudo launchctl start docker for mac

[ricanontherun]

I'd like to try contributing to docker-compose, and this seems like a good first issue. Is anyone working on this? If no, can I take it?

[bpmct]

@renatoaraujoc That would be awesome!

[ndeloof]

Future of Docker Compose is taking place on the Go implementation to be bundled with the Docker CLI as a plugin, see https://github.com/docker/compose-cli

[ghost]

You just need to start your Docker :)

[Gerst20051]

You can run this command on macOS to start Docker: open --hide --background -a Docker 🎉

[ahsandev2019]

if on a mac, just make sure docker is started.

cmd + space + type "docker" into the search bar + enter

i forgot im running on mac haha thanks for reply

[ssi-anik]

The interviewer asked me to submit the project with the instructions to run the project locally. I used docker to remove the hassle. Now it has become a hassle :angry:

[rilweic]

I second this suggestion of proper error message like "Error: Docker process not running"

that's right

[stale[bot]]

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

[quanpower]

Ubuntu20.04 in WSL2,systemctl is not work,first run: sudo service docker start

[stale[bot]]

This issue has been automatically marked as not stale anymore due to the recent activity.

[ebcomgruber]

19 month later, this bug is still there (Alpine Linux 3.15.4 released Apr 04, 2022)

[ndeloof]

Compose v1 entered the End of Life process, you should switch to compose v2

[sheecegardezi]

still an issue, please add helpfull exception msg as stated above, that docker isnt running.

Thanks for this post. Was helpful along with [REF] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1379425/system-has-not-been-booted-with-systemd-as-init-system-pid-1-cant-operate … to understand what was going on and get to sudo service docker start working to start docker service on ubuntu 20.04 on WSL2 to allow docker compose to work.

[weiyijin-ponyai]

Same error, this works for me (ubuntu 18.04)

pip uninstall docker-compose 
sudo apt-get install docker-compose
