How to choose docker-compose binary ?

[boskiv]

Is there way to choose executable file for docker-compose on Windows Or path (venv) to use it on OSX ? Because I have on OSX an error

Failed to fetch container logs: 
Command failed: /usr/local/bin/docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -p test logs --tail=1000 mongo 2>&1

On WIndows it drop an error

file not found

Hi @boskiv No, we don't have this option. The app checks all $PATH paths and looking for docker-compose file.

The solutions 1) Check all export directories.

echo $PATH

Set your custom directory first than /usr/local/bin. Finally result should be some as

...:/YOUR_CUSTOM_DIR:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/...

2) Set symlink from your custom docker-compose to default bin directory

ln -sf /CUSTOM_DIR/docker-compose /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Unfortunately, I can't say anything about Windows but I think you can reproduce it similarly.

[igor-lemon]

But in your log the problem isn't relating with the path of Docker Compose.

[boskiv]

Yeah, thanks. I will try to check my envs.

[boskiv]

This how it's look on windows. docker-compose works fine from powershell or cmd. envs are set right. docker, docker-compose, docker-machine was installed with choco

choco install docker docker-compose docker-machine

[boskiv]

How can I check Environment that App use ? I have installed App for User only, not for all. Hope it helps.

[boskiv]

Ok, I have run process explorer and there is an env:

Looks like docker-compose under path

[igor-lemon]

I'll try to check your case. I can't do it now because I don't have a Windows PC. I will definitely let you know results.

[boskiv]

I'm using Virtual Machine with Windows in cases like this.

[igor-lemon]

So, Do I understand you that 1) You've Virtual Machine with Windows 10? 2) You're using Docker Machine in the VM?

[boskiv]

Yes. I have Paralles VM with Windows 10. I have Orace virtualbox inside Windows 10. I'm testing solution for our developers more convenient to work with docker. So I have this environment. But It should not be a problem because of isolation. Nested virtualisation enabled of cause. And docker also work from command line.

[igor-lemon]

Do you use Docker for Windows or Docker toolbox ?

[boskiv]

I think nothing of it. I have install docker from choco package manager. There is just docker client, docker-machine and docker-compose binaries

[igor-lemon]

So we reproduced your problem and found the same issues. You didn't start Docker daemon. https://github.com/docker/toolbox/issues/725

But unfortunately, I can't say anything about your case with choco package manager. We'll try to check it a bit later. At the moment I can recommend to install and use the latest version Docker For Windows.

[igor-lemon]

Huh. We found and fixed one bug which reproduced with Docker Toolbox only for Windows. This is bug very similar with your case, but I can't promise it will able to resolve your issue.

[boskiv]

Thanks, Igor. I will try, but I have docker daemon inside my Oracle docker-machine created VM, why I need to have one on Windows. And I have docker-compose up working in PowerSHell without local daemon started

All I need to works with is env:

PS C:\Users\i_skiridomov\Documents\Demo> Get-ChildItem env:

[igor-lemon]

So, I think this is the bug which we fixed yesterday. I'll try to build a temporary build. Will you able to check it?

[boskiv]

Sure I will, thanks.

[igor-lemon]

Please write me to igor@dockstation.io I'll send you a pre-release version for test.

[guzart]

Hello @igor-lemon,

Could this issue be the same as the one reported by jacoblyw? I am having the same issue KeyError: 'PATH' on OS 10.14.

[igor-lemon]

Hi @guzart. I'll try to find a solution today.
