Question: Getting error about docker-compose version mismatch, any ideas?

[neilwheeler]

When running ./run-seedbox.sh I'm getting this error

ERROR: Version mismatch: file ./docker-compose.yaml specifies version 3.8 but extension file ./services/traefik.yaml uses version 1

Any ideas what might be the cause?

Hello,

What version of docker-compose are you running? Does it meet the >= 2.2 criteria? If not, I invite you to update your system package or use a direct installation using the binary from here: https://github.com/docker/compose/releases

Yes I had the latest v2 version installed. The thing that's confusing me is that the documentation for compose v2 states that the command is docker compose as opposed to docker-compose in v1. But your run_seedbox.sh script uses docker-compose. I must be missing something here but I don't know what!

Can confirm, I also had the problem that docker-compose which is used in run-seedbox.sh was not recognized. Environment is Ubuntu 22, I set up the newer versions of Docker and Docker Compose according to https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/ I solved this by renaming the two occurences in run-seedbox.sh

I think I understood it. Personally I installed docker compose v2 (latest) not by using a package manager but directly on github (grabbed the binary directly), and named it "docker-compose" in /usr/local/bin. I named it out of habit, and then developed my scripts around it. So my bad, I name it differently. I will add an option in the script to make it variable, so everyone would get the possibility to use its own version and/or name.
