Unable to run docker compose from WSL 2 Ubuntu

Question

I am trying to run docker-compose up -d --build from Ubuntu (Windows WSL 2). I have enabled the WSL integration as per the steps listed here . Docker and compose are working from my Ubuntu terminal as shown in the screenshot below but it gives me the error complaining that "Error response from daemon: path ... is mounted on / but it is not a shared mount". How should I resolve this issue?

As mentioned in the comments, the solution appeared to be removing slashes from volumes as suggested by this similar question and answer :

From this:

    volumes:
      - ./server/:/usr/src/app/

To this:

    volumes:
      - ./server:/usr/src/app
