The error message you're encountering suggests that there might be an issue with how Docker Compose is interpreting the flags or options in your command. Let's break down the command and potential issues:
docker compose -f /root/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.yml -f /root/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.prod.yml --project-name tutor_local stop
In Docker Compose commands, the correct syntax generally is docker-compose, not docker compose. However, newer versions of Docker Compose (starting from version 2.0) have introduced a docker compose command that combines docker-compose and Docker CLI commands.
The error message unknown shorthand flag: 'f' in -f indicates that the -f flag might not be recognized in the context it's being used. Here are a few troubleshooting steps:
Check Docker Compose Version: Ensure that you are using Docker Compose version 2.0 or newer if you intend to use the docker compose command directly. If you are using an older version, stick to docker-compose.
Correct Command Usage: If you're using a version that supports docker compose, ensure you're using it correctly: docker compose -f /path/to/docker-compose.yml -f /path/to/docker-compose.prod.yml --project-name tutor_local stop
If you're using docker-compose (older version), the command should be:
docker-compose -f /path/to/docker-compose.yml -f /path/to/docker-compose.prod.yml --project-name tutor_local stop
Path Check: Double-check that the paths to your docker-compose.yml and docker-compose.prod.yml files are correct.
Shell Interpretation: Sometimes, the shell might interpret characters differently. Ensure there are no hidden characters or issues with quoting if you're running this in a script or from a shell.
Given these points, your command should be adjusted based on whether you're using docker-compose or docker compose (newer version). For most cases, especially with the error you're encountering, it's likely you should be using docker-compose instead of docker compose. Here’s how you would rewrite it assuming docker-compose🇦 docker-compose -f /root/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.yml -f /root/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.prod.yml --project-name tutor_local stop
If you specifically need to use docker compose, ensure your Docker Compose version supports this syntax. If it does, the command structure is similar, but make sure the version matches the syntax you're using.
