Docker Compose not found

[pinage404]

Hi,

docker-compose is not found on NixOS

However docker-compose is available in the $PATH

$ which docker-compose
# /home/pinage404/.nix-profile/bin/docker-compose
$ echo $PATH
# /run/wrappers/bin:/etc/profiles/per-user/pinage404/bin:/home/pinage404/.nix-profile/bin:/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin:/run/current-system/sw/bin

Hi @pinage404 Thanks for the issue. Maybe you can try to make a symlink for docker-compose into /usr/local/bin/ or /usr/bin/

[pinage404]

NixOS is a distribution configured and installed with pure functional language

Manually adding a symbolic link would prevent the possibility to rollback and getting exactly the same environment as before

Programs who works well in NixOS use the global standart variable $PATH to find the path of each program

If you could use the $PATH variable to find docker-compose it would be super great =)

So, It should work. You use AppImages. Do you run the app with sudo ... via root user or without via pinage404 user?

[pinage404]

I run it with pinage404 user using the appimage-run command line (who basically extract the appimage in a folder and run it)

[igor-lemon]

It's strange. Ok, I'll try to install NixOS and repeat your issue.

I had the same kind of issue with VSCode, they fixed it with this https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/commit/0bab532a332c9e4390c735f99e19db2821adab36

i have the same problem on my ubuntu kde. it did work when i installed it for the first time but after i reinstalled docker && docker compose it not working anymore. i can use docker compose from bash and its works fine.

Same problem on Debian Buster. Dockstation version 1.5.1

[igor-lemon]

Hi. What is the rights and user/user group do you have for Docker Compose? @jakabk

[jakabk]

@igor-lemon ls -la /usr/bin/docker-compose -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 420 Oct 3 2018 /usr/bin/docker-compose

I had the same issue on my arch linux, and I was able to fix it by clearing my local sitepackages which was conflicting with the global packages.

I had docker-compose in my $PATH

[ 24-11-20::14:02:39 ] ❯ which docker-compose
/usr/bin/docker-compose

When I ran dockstation from my commandline, I was seeing the same error in the GUI

Docker compose not installed

and I was seeing the following error in my terminal.

This was my per-user site-packages path

[ 24-11-20::14:04:13 ] ❯ python -m site --user-site
/home/nohup/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages

Since I never used them, it was safe for me to delete /home/nohup/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages and after that, dockstation started working for me and detected docker-compose.

I'm posting it here, just in case if it helps someone.

Just faced this issue on a fresh install of Ubuntu-budgie, any solution?

EDIT: it appears the reinit application button doesn't actually work a 100%. Restarting the application made it detect docker-compose

Same for me on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

Running into the same problem after upgrading to Docker for Windows 3.4.0. Dockstation reports that Docker Compose is not installed, but running docker-compose (or docker compose) via the command line works fine.

Hi, just faced the same issue after I updated Docker to the last version 3.5.1. Dockstation version is 1.5.1. I'm on MacOs 11.4 and docker-compose is working just fine via the command line.

which docker-compose return /usr/local/bin/docker-compose which is actually /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Resources/bin/docker-compose

[vinihagemeister]

Hey broo!!! i'm on Windows we solved by disabling "use Docker Copose V2" in Settings "Experimental Features" into Docker.

[acjvenis]

The same applies to the MacOS version; disabling the option in the and restarting resolves the error. Thanks!

[karthikeyana]

I have installed this way it work for me.

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.26.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)"  -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo mv /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/docker-compose

[ghost]

Have the same issue on my Manjaro KDE:

❯ where docker-compose 
/usr/bin/docker-compose

❯ docker-compose --version
Docker Compose version 2.2.3

There should be a way to at least provide a path to docker-compose if it's such a common problem.

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.26.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)"  -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/docker-compose

Also worked for me. Thanks!

This is an old version that should not have been used anymore.
