[BUG] Docker compose volume bind error on remote deployments

[DoomsdayDevice]

Description

I have the following problem:

I run docker compose in gitlab pipelines (connect to a remote host with $DOCKER_HOST variable via ssh, then bind directories on the remote host as docker volumes to some compose services) and all of a sudden for the last couple days they started failing with this error:

$ docker compose -f .ci/docker-compose.yml up
service "app" refers to undefined volume /my/directory/on/host: invalid compose project

Downgrading docker compose on the client (docker image) to v2.28.1 from v2.29.0 fixes the issue, but im looking for a long-term solution

Steps To Reproduce
