[SOLVED] /bin/sh: docker-compose: not found

Hi,

I’ve been trying to get a very simple setup working on circleci, and am unsure what I am doing wrong here, if anything.

version: 2
jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: docker:17.03-git
    working_directory: ~/testing
    steps:
      - checkout
      - setup_remote_docker
      - run:
          name: Does docker even exist
          command: docker -v
      - run:
          name: Install docker-compose
          command: |
            set -x
            curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.12.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
            chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
      - run:
          name: Start containers
          command: docker-compose up -d

That’s the entirety of the config.yml I am testing. I checked to see if docker-compose exists and has the correct permissions, and it does. Despite this it still says /bin/sh: docker-compose: not found in the last step. I tried docker-compose up in the same step as the docker-compose download, and I get the same error. I also tried /usr/local/bin/docker-compose. No dice. Any ideas? Am I doing something extremely stupid and not realizing it?

Nevermind. I fixed it. Apparently docker:17.03-git is not sufficient, as it uses alpine as its base and that conflicts in quite frankly strange ways with docker-compose.

So what image did you use instead?

I created my own. You can find it here: https://hub.docker.com/r/moregreenhouse/tm-base/

I’d like to know the solution more.
What do you mean conflicts?
And show the dockerfile of the alternative image, please?

Found this issue in upsteam. Now thinking about solution in Circle.
