Docker "(root) Additional property include is not allowed:" when creating base compose file

I create a docker compose for self-hosted services. As there are a lot of services I decided to make a base compose file, which includes every service needed, so i can easily manage what i need and what i do not need.

I attach error and my base compose file.

docker-compose.yml

include:
  - path: 'jellyfin/docker-compose.jellyfin.yml'
  - path: 'trilium/docker-compose.trilium.yml'

result of docker compose up

PS C:\ss\ss\> docker compose up
(root) Additional property include is not allowed

The problem is that when I do "docker compose up" I receive "(root) Additional property include is not allowed"

I do not have any more "include" property anywhere.

Running on windows.

I am expecting my base docker-compose file to startup necessary services.

Solution

  • I managed to beat this.

    Answer is simple:

    • check docker compose version via 'docker compose version'
    • if the version is below 2.20, update docker compose.

    Thanks
