Running backend locally fails

[KimGabrielsen]

Dear Nils, when I'm trying to run the backend project locally as described i get an error.

The project builds correctly but when it's supposed to start i get:

`2023-12-05T23:46:30.925+01:00 ERROR 26962 --- [ restartedMain] o.s.boot.SpringApplication : Application run failed

org.springframework.boot.docker.compose.core.ProcessExitException: 'docker-compose version --format json' failed with exit code 1.

Stdout:

Stderr: Show version information

Usage: version [--short]

Options: --short Shows only Compose's version number.

Do you have any idea what is causing it? I'm running linux and docker-composer is installed.

Hi @KimGabrielsen ,

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what the problem is. I think this is more a Spring Boot-related problem than a specific problem of this sample application.

• Maybe you're docker compose version is too old for Spring Boot?
• Have you tried in GitPod (gitpod container also runs linux)

Dear Nils, thank you for taking your time to reply. You were right. It was because my setup was too old I guess. I installed everything on a new OpenSuse 15.5 and it runs without any problems.
