Updating docker-compose Ubuntu 15.10

Question

I'm working through a tutorial for XGBoost (see: https://github.com/ParrotPrediction/docker-course-xgboost), but am getting an error when running

$ docker-compose up

That I am fairly sure is caused by an outdated docker-compose version (-v tells me 1.3.1) resulting in an incompatibility with the new version 2 filetype.

However, when running sudo-apt get update, it tells me this is the most recent version (and have tried installing both via pip and the curl instructions on this page curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.8.0/run.sh > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose). pip runs fine, but leaves me with the current version seemingly and after getting permission denied running sudo curl ... I was able to get those instructions to run using sudo sh -c curl ...

I was however, able to update docker-compose to v1.8.0 as the root user using su -i, but those changes aren't carried over to my user account.

I belive you have two issues to address.

Mismatch in Docker-compose version requirement for XGBoost

In docker-compose.yml file in XGBoost the format version is clearly defined as version 2. Based on the Docker Version Reference you require 1.10.0 and above to adhere to docker-compose file format version 2.

You can install the appropriate version using following commands

curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/<version>/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Replace <version> with the release version you require to install

Broken Link to docker-compose

There are many issues reported about version mismatch from root user and non root user when the docker-compose version is executed. To resolve issues related, you have a clean setup of docker-compose with following steps in debian based system.

#remove any previously installled docker-compose
sudo apt-get purge docker-compose

# Install the version by replacing <version> with appropriate you desire
sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/<version>/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

#create a soft link
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose

This should solve your problem..
