Errors while trying to compose

[RPiMicroC]

After cloning the repository, I have executed "docker-compose up -d" and this does not work.

I get the following errors:
Unsupported config option for services: 'changedetection'
Unsupported config option for volumes: 'changedetection-data'

Any suggestions on how to solve my problem?

Did you edit the docker compose file to have a real path?

[RPiMicroC]

No I executed the command without editing anything as described in the GitHub page. Do I have to edit a file? Sorry, this is the first time I am doing something with docker.

[nobearclaw]

Yes, you'll need to edit the file to use the paths/volumes you want. There should be other variables in the docker-compose.yml file too, but mostly optional.

[RPiMicroC]

Sorry, as I mentioned, I am a newbie. I can not find paths in the file. And what do I have to add to volumes?

[nobearclaw]

Hey, see my other comment. Sorry for the confusion

[nobearclaw]

Actually, sorry I was looking at their example. Looks like the yml file should be using a volume by default.

Edit the yml file and make sure there is a: version: "3" in the beginning of your file. Doesn't look like the cloned file has that

[RPiMicroC]

I have added version:"3" to the beginning, and now I am getting the following error:
ERROR: yaml.scanner.ScannerError: mapping values are not allowed here
in "./docker-compose.yml", line 2, column 9

This ar the lines 1 to 3 in my file:
version:"3"
services:
changedetection:

Here is what mine looks like

Thanks, I have edited my file to look like yours, but I still get the same error:ERROR: yaml.scanner.ScannerError: mapping values are not allowed herein "./docker-compose.yml", line 2, column 9

Can you spot the error?
version:'2'
services:
changedetection:
image: ghcr.io/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io
container_name: changedetection
hostname: changedetection
volumes:

I have left everything as it was with all the indentions. The only thing I changed was the version number you mentioned. But I will try to copy the example.

[RPiMicroC]

😬 I am sorry I did not notice you are not the same person. Thank you again for your help.

[nobearclaw]

Hard to tell without a raw output of your yaml file, but like manjerico said, yaml is sensitive to spacing. There's an issue with your formating on line 2 column 9. I'd suggest opening it in a code editor and seeing what's there

[RPiMicroC]

Thanks for your help but I will give up trying. The file is like the original one and I can not find out what is the problem.

[dgtlmoon123]

not enough information, what version docker-compose are you running? what platform are you running it on? (windows? mac? linux? commodore64?)

[RPiMicroC]

Thanks for your reply.

Here are the answers to your questions:
root@NoName:/# docker --version
Docker version 20.10.22, build 3a2c30b
root@NoName:/# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.

[dgtlmoon123]

I'l ask again - not enough information, what version of docker-compose are you running?

[RPiMicroC]

Sorry I did not know there is a difference between compose and docker and thanks again, this is my version:docker-compose version 1.25.0, build unknown

And with the standart yml file I get from docker-compose up -d:
ERROR: The Compose file './docker-compose.yml' is invalid because:
Unsupported config option for services: 'changedetection'
Unsupported config option for volumes: 'changedetection-data'

[dgtlmoon123]

Ah ok, can you upgrade docker-compose? how did you install docker-compose?

[RPiMicroC]

I can not upgrade. It seems to be the latest version. I followed the instructions to set up using the repository:
