Windows docker-compose up fails with 'Error response from daemon: Conflict. The container name "centos3" is already in use....

[gstreet13]

OS: Windows 11 I have validated the files from the zip file that I downloaded per the instructions. I have searched for solutions but have not found any so far. Any assistance is appreciated.

However when I run the 'docker-compose up' command I receive the following error:

C:\Users\greg\diveintoansible-lab>docker-compose up [+] Building 0.0s (0/0) docker:default time="2023-11-17T20:11:39-05:00" level=warning msg="a network with name diveinto.io exists but was not created for project \"diveintoansible-lab\".\nSetexternal: true` to use an existing network" [+] Running 0/8

Hi @gstreet13

It looks as if you have a container running already, try the following please -

docker compose down docker compose rm docker compose up

Does that resolve it for you?

Hi @spurin

I finally got it resolved. I tried the above steps, however I was still getting a conflict error. After some more troubleshooting, I realized I had downloaded the Dive Into Ansible extension. The docker compose up command started working after I uninstalled the extension.

Thank you for your quick reply

Thanks @gstreet13 - I need to put a note on the course so that these are mutually exclusive, sorry you had this trouble
