Docker compose file

guyab

Hi There,

I get this error when I run Docker compose file:

root@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-nyc3-01:~/wordpress# docker-compose --tlsverify --tlscacert /root/.docker/machine/machines/dockerhost/ca.pem --tlscert=/root/.docker/machine/machines/dockerhost/cert.pem --tlskey=/root/.docker/machine/machines/dockerhost/key.pem -H tcp://159.203.65.196:2376 up -d

ERROR: Version in "./docker-compose.yaml" is unsupported. You might be seeing this error because you're using the wrong Compose file version. Either specify a supported version ("2.0", "2.1", "3.0") and place your service definitions under the services key, or omit the version key and place your service definitions at the root of the file to use version 1.
For more on the Compose file format versions, see https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/

Which version should I use in Docker compose file if my docker version is 20.10.8
according to the table at https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/ the last docker version is 19.03.0+ (compose file format is 3.8)

When I using 3.8 , I still get the same error above.

Note: I used the same Docker compose file from the course.

version: "3.8"

services:
db:
image: mysql:5.7
volumes:
- db_data:/var/lib/mysql
restart: always
environment:

Hi @guyab,

After updating the version value to "3.8", did you happen to update the rest of the docker-compose.yaml file to match the current compose template? You may find a sample template in the documentation:
