Have problem to navigate to a docker-compose.yml file

Question

enter image description here

I need to navigate to my docker-compose.yml file but writing cd docker-compose.yml doesn't work. The Terminal tells me that the catalog name is wrong or invalid, couldn't find the right translation. I want to navigate to the docker-compose so i can run docker up in the Terminal.

Answer 1

You need to do cd app .

docker-compose.yml is a file, inside the directory app . Since cd moves you to a directory, it makes no sense to launch it on a file.

The command you want once you are in the same folder as your docker-compose.yml is docker-compose up .

So to sum it up:

cd app
docker-compose up

Answer 2

You are already in the directory for docker-compose, but you can't cd to a file, you want to run commands for it.

Answer 3

Its not possible to cd into a file, you can use docker-compose command to run the file.
