How do I fix my docker-compose.yml? - Unsupported config option for services.teslamate: 'database'

Question

I am new to this today. I have been trying to figure out what the problem is all day.

docker-compose version 1.28.5, build 324b023a

I run: docker-compose up -d

and I get: ERROR: The Compose file './docker-compose.yml' is invalid because: Unsupported config option for services.teslamate: 'database'

version: "3"

services:
  teslamate:
    image: teslamate/teslamate
    restart: always
    environment:
      - ENCRYPTION_KEY= <Insert Key>
      - DB_USER=teslamate
      - DB_PASS= <Insert password>
      - DB_NAME=teslamate

        # if you're going to access the UI from another machine replace
        # "localhost" with the hostname / IP address of the docker host.
      - TZ=US # (optional) replace to use local time in debug logs. See    "Configuration".

    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    volumes:

      - mosquitto-data:/mosquitto/data

volumes:
  teslamate-db:
  teslamate-grafana-data:
  mosquitto-conf:
  mosquitto-data:

Could someone please let me know what is wrong? Thank you,

It is just a Yaml indentation problem. Your services teslamate, database, grafana and mosquito needs to have the same indentation, otherwise database is seen as a property of teslamate and it is not a valid property for docker-compose.
