Error running containers with docker-compose, error pulling images from my private repo in dockerhub

Question

I have 3 images pushed on my private repository in docker hub. Locally, the way I've always run the 3 images is via docker-compose up -d, and it works.

Now I'm trying to run this images in a different server so I pushed them in a private repository in docker hub.

So in order to run them in the new server this is what I do:

1- I run docker login with my docker hub credentials

WARNING! Your password will be stored unencrypted in /home/user/.docker/config.json.
Configure a credential helper to remove this warning. See
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/login/#credentials-store

Login Succeeded

2- I pulled them manually with no error:

~$ docker pull user/repo:tag
mongo: Pulling from user/repo
Digest: sha256:9c6a336963e6f680aa9550d502bc777e212f0025d22229fd60cb5826289f84e4
Status: Image is up to date for user/repo:tag

So I copied there my docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.1'

services:
  engine:
    image: engine
    container_name: engine
    ports:
      - 5000:5000
    volumes:
      - $HOME/data/engine-import:/app/import
    depends_on:
      - mongo

  mongo:
    image: mongo
    container_name: mongo
    ports:
      - 27018:27017
    volumes:
      - $HOME/data/mongo-data:/data/db
      - $HOME/data/mongo-bkp:/data/bkp
    restart: always

-BUT- Even though I have the images there, when I run docker-compose up -d this is what I get:

Pulling mongo (mongo:)...
ERROR: The image for the service you're trying to recreate has been removed. If you continue, volume data could be lost. Consider backing up your data before continuing.

and if I enter "Y" it tries to pull with no success...

Pulling mongo (mongo:)...
ERROR: pull access denied for mongo, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'

And I did login right before.

I'd appreciate any help

UPDATE : adding a --verbose flag this is the whole output:

My docker-compose version is docker-compose version 1.22.0, build f46880fe

Thanks

Answer 1

The problem was in my docker-compose.yml.

image: engine should be image: myuser/repository:engine

I had to define the image name with its docker hub user and repository, I thought It was enough to pull them with docker pull being that they are already tagged that way.

Anyways, It works!
