npm 运行服务工作，但 docker-compose 失败

Question

I'm trying to test a containerized app on my local machine. The app uses a combination of ruby on rails and vue code. If I run "npm run serve" it will fire up a server and I can connect to it locally in a browser (ex. "http://localhost:xxxx/")

If I try to run "docker-compose up -d" I get the error messages below.

Does anyone see what the issue might be? The code was developed for linux but I'm testing on mac, if that makes a difference.

working version:

npm run serve

failed version with error:

$ docker-compose up -d

Answer 1

figured it out, had to have docker engine running before I tried to run docker-compose.
