Hey there, @gopi-s-ht! I'm a bot designed to help you with bugs, questions, and contributions. Feel free to ask for assistance while waiting for a human maintainer.

To resolve the Dockerfile parse error "Unknown flag: mount" on line 40 when running docker-compose -f docker-compose-non-dev.yml up for Apache Superset on an AWS EC2 instance with Amazon Linux 2023 and Docker version 26.1.4, you need to ensure that BuildKit is enabled. The --mount flag is supported in BuildKit, which is not enabled by default in some Docker installations.

You mentioned that you tried exporting DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 but still encountered the same error. Here are a few additional steps to ensure BuildKit is properly enabled:

1. Set the Environment Variable: Ensure that the DOCKER_BUILDKIT environment variable is set to 1 in your current shell session:

   export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1

2. Verify Docker Configuration: Check if BuildKit is enabled in your Docker configuration file (/etc/docker/daemon.json). If not, add the following configuration:

   {
    "features": {
      "buildkit": true
    }
   }

   After making changes, restart the Docker service:

   sudo systemctl restart docker

3. Run Docker Compose: Now, try running the Docker Compose command again:

   docker-compose -f docker-compose-non-dev.yml up

If the issue persists, you can use an alternative Docker Compose configuration that does not rely on the --mount flag. The Superset repository provides several configurations, including docker-compose-image-tag.yml, which fetches and runs pre-built images from Docker Hub:

export TAG=3.1.1
docker-compose -f docker-compose-image-tag.yml up

This approach avoids the --mount flag and should work without requiring BuildKit.

For more details, you can refer to the Superset documentation on Docker Compose configurations ^[1][2].

My guess is that this is a docker / docker-compose version issue, please find the version you use, report back here (so we get a better understanding of what versions don't work), upgrade and retry.

@rusackas maybe we should merge this -> https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/29609, this way we can instruct people to run it, and tweak/adjust the known version ranges that work or don't work based on what contributors report in issues like this one.

@mistercrunch

Docker version 26.1.4, build 5650f9b

Docker Compose version v2.29.2

[mistercrunch]

Oh looks like you're ahead of me, let me upgrade locally and run docker-compose build; docker-compose -f docker-compose-non-dev.yml up

[mistercrunch]

I had to docker volume rm superset_db_home for unrelated reasons, but docker-compose build; docker-compose -f docker-compose-non-dev.yml up worked for me.

[mistercrunch]

@dosu-bot can you provide some instructions about nuking docker cache and anything else that might be getting in the way here? It's a dev environment so it should be safe to reset things.

[mistercrunch]

Sorry I couldn't help, but at least I upgrade my local docker setup - there are cool new features in how docker-compose integrates better with docker-desktop now.

@gopi-s-ht

To reolve you can try some of these steps :-

• Update Docker and Docker Compose: Ensure you're using the latest versions of Docker and Docker Compose, as newer versions support more features.
• Enable BuildKit: You can enable BuildKit by setting an environment variable before running docker-compose:

  export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1
  export COMPOSE_DOCKER_CLI_BUILD=1

• Or you can also use some older version of docker if that helps
• And do check the file once and verify if all the services are provided or not
