Installing Postal Error:'./docker-compose.yml' is invalid, Unsupported config option for services.runner: 'profiles'

I tried to Install the postal Mail server. But there is a problem with the "docker-compose.yml". I get the following Error Message: "ERROR: The Compose file './docker-compose.yml' is invalid because: Unsupported config option for services.runner: 'profiles'"

The File is the following:

Solution

  • Upgrade your docker-compose version. Service profiles only got introduced in Version 1.28.0 and even after that still had some bugs. Despite that docker-compose v2 is planned to become the standard.
