Docker error while fetching server API version

[Alexander-Degtyar]

Script failed with the following exception when tried to get compose yaml from the running container.

    Installation instructions and AUR (#68)

    I added a bit of information about installing this tool to the system and about my AUR packages.

    Also the PyPI version is outdated (1.0.1 from Jan 3 2016, https://pypi.org/project/docker-autocompose/#history), is it still supported?

Probably related to the https://github.com/Red5d/docker-autocompose/issues/60.

After installing older requests, the script works fine.

$ pip3 install "requests<2.2.29"

Hi,

In my case, downgrading requests was introducing a dependency error with the docker package.

Another workaround found https://github.com/docker/docker-py/issues/3113#issue-1685565058 is to force urllib3 version below v2

pip3 install "urllib3<2"
