FastAPI docker-compose File Not Found Error

Question

I have to run a project generated by full-stack-fastapi-postgresql and I'm stuck at the first step of launching the app: docker-compose up -d throws a FileNotFoundError.
I am pretty sure that it's not a hard problem or an issue, just I am missing something but I have no idea why. See the Commands runned version, I'm pretty sure that my error is here.

Versions:

Docker version 19.03.13, build 4484c46
docker-compose version 1.27.4, build unknown
Poetry version 1.1.4

Commands runned:

pip install cookiecutter

In the section above, I launched downloading and respond all demands like wroted (I just entered "Test" for name, and the result of openssl rand -hex 32 for each password asked)

$ cookiecutter https://github.com/tiangolo/full-stack-fastapi-postgresql

The error

In the README.md generated, they say to install docker, docker-compose and poetry. After this, I launch the docker-compose up -d to start the project and then ... (first error and last line shown, more if you want).

PLease what did I do wrong? Have I to fill all the asked values at the beginning? I don't have all of them and I just want to run this boilerplate locally)

Answer 1

Did you set up docker/virtualbox correctly? Eg for MacOS there's a description here . TL;DR copied here:

$ brew install docker docker-machine
$ brew cask install virtualbox
-> need password
-> possibly need to address System Preference setting
$ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default
$ docker-machine env default
$ eval "$(docker-machine env default)"
$ docker run hello-world
