Laradock - The Compose file './docker-compose.yml' is invalid

I'm trying to set up my project on VPS using Laradock and am getting an error

ERROR: The Compose file './docker-compose.yml' is invalid because:
Unsupported config option for services: 'couchdb'
Unsupported config option for networks: 'frontend'
Unsupported config option for volumes: 'phpmyadmin'

When I run docker-compose up -d nginx mysql

It seems that this problem appears when .env file does not exist or is invalid.

The problem is that my .env file exists and has the proper format/data. Same with docker-compose.yml

Locally I followed the same steps(MacOs) and everything worked without any problems. What am I doing wrong here?

Folder structure

| home
|    | project
     |       | laradock
             |        | .env
             |        | .docker-compose.yml
             |        | ... other laradock stuff

OS - Ubuntu 20.04

Docker - 20.10.21, build 20.10.21-0ubuntu1~20.04.2

docker-compose - version 1.25.0, build unknown

docker-compose.yml I use - https://github.com/laradock/laradock/blob/master/docker-compose.yml

.env.example - https://github.com/laradock/laradock/blob/master/.env.example

Solution

  • So I finally solved it by simply adding

    version: "3"

    At the beginning of the docker-compose.yml

    Though I have no idea why Laradock did not include it by default or why it worked locally.
