I have the below docker desktop installed in Mac Ventura 13.0.1 (M1 Pro chip).
Can someone let me know how can I upgrade compose to version 2.6.0 or above?
It has been answered in docker community forum. Cross-posting the answer below :-
You can download the version for the ARM based CPU (aarch64) on macOS (darwin). Note that if you just download it from the browser, macOS will not let you run it, because it will remember that the file was downloaded using the browser (or maybe because I used Google Chrome, I am not sure) and macOS could not check the author of the binary. So I downloaded from command line using curl.
https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.14.2/docker-compose-darwin-aarch64Since (in the previous topic) you used
docker-composeinstead ofdocker compose, you need to know that Docker Compose v2 is a plugin of Docker and plugins can be installed to multiple locations. When you rundocker-composeyou will run/usr/local/bin/docker-composebut your plugins can be in your home as well:$HOME/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-composeSo when you run
docker composewherecomposeis an argument ofdocker, docker will execute the plugin in th cli-plugins folder ifdocker-composeis there.Since Docker Desktop has Docker Compsoe 2.13.0 at the moment which is good enough for you to fix the issue discussed in the other topic, I would not upgrade it at all, unless you need a feature in the latest version. If you still want to upgarde, you could just install the plugin and leave
/usr/local/bin/docker-composeuntouched.update
Okay, I was confused because you mentioned a newer version number in the other topic used on AWS and here you mentioned 1.29 on macOS. macOS has Docker Compose v2 and you can optionally allow Docker Desktop to change
docker-composeto point to Docker Compose v2. So the process I shared is still the way to download a specific compose version, but you don’t need that on macOS. Just use thedocker composecommand instead ofdocker-compose
