I tried to run
docker compose up
on a Ubuntu 24.04 LTS system and encountered the error
docker: 'compose' is not a docker command
The current docker --version is 24.0.7 which appears to be a current or very recent version.
Docker migrated away from the old docker-compose Python CLI quite some time ago, so I'm not sure why this isn't working.
Do I possibly need to install another apt package?
A search of apt-cache search docker | grep compose gives the following results.
docker-compose - define and run multi-container Docker applications with YAML
docker-compose-v2 - tool for running multi-container applications on Docker
podman-compose - Run docker-compose.yml using podman
python3-compose - Python implementation of docker-compose file specification
docker-compose-v2 is the required apt package. Install it with
sudo apt install docker-compose-v2
The full list of packages to install is
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
