docker compose installation in AWS CodeBuild not working

[mylons]

Description

I'm currently trying to use docker compose from within AWS CodeBuild. I've seen a lot of the other issues that say "just follow the manual install" I'm about to display below, but I am having zero success.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Follow instructions from https://docs.docker.com/compose/cli-command/#install-on-linux

# excerpt from my buildspec.yml
# i've tried to install this to /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins with the same results
mkdir -p $HOME/.docker/cli-plugins
curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.1.1/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o $HOME/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose
chmod +x $HOME/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose

2. try to use docker compose after step 1 in the buildspec.yml and get:

docker: 'compose' is not a docker command.

Describe the results you received: Here's the output from the AWS CodeBuild:

You can also run docker context inspect context-name to give us more details but don't forget to remove sensitive content.

docker: 'context' is not a docker command.

@mylons I'm facing the same problem. Did you find any solution?

@mylons

I am also facing the same problem. Some information on the net did not help. Did you manage to solve it?

[evantbyrne]

The current install instructions for the standalone binary distribution worked for me on AWS CodeBuild with the aws/codebuild/amazonlinux2-x86_64-standard:3.0 environment image:

curl -L --no-progress-meter --output /usr/local/bin/docker-compose https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.5.0/docker-compose-linux-x86_64
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Note both docker and docker-compose existed in the environment image prior to installation, but docker-compose was a really old version. I'm also using docker-compose [COMMAND] rather than docker compose [COMMAND].
