Hi,
So I installed Ubuntu 24.04 on an older Mac Mini to use for a Xibo demo.
I’m following the steps from the community post [Xibo CMS with Docker on Ubuntu 22.04](https://community.xibo.org.uk/t/xibo-cms-with-docker-on-ubuntu-22-04/9392) but when I want to run “docker-compose up -d” I run into errors.
First of all it says “no configuration file provided: not found”.
So I added the -f flag “docker-compose -f config.env up -d” and got the error “stat /var/lib/snapd/void/config.env: no such file or directory”
So I added the path to the file “docker-compose -f /opt/xibo/config.env up -d” but I still get the error
“stat /opt/xibo/config.env: no such file or directory”
When I run the stat command myself with the samen user (root) I do get results:
root@xibo:/opt/xibo# stat /opt/xibo/config.env
File: /opt/xibo/config.env
Size: 4731 Blocks: 16 IO Block: 4096 regular file

Birth: 2024-05-15 06:41:24.360893355 +0000
I copied the file to another folder ( /home/xibo) and when I ran it from there I got another error:
root@xibo:/opt/xibo# docker-compose -f /home/xibo/config.env up -d
parsing /home/xibo/config.env: Top-level object must be a mapping
Can someone point me in the right directory with this? I’m running out of skill

You’re using the snap of docker/docker-compose and that can’t see outside of your home directory.
You need to move `/opt/xibo` in to `/home/xibo` and then `docker-compose up -d`
If you want to use `-f` then it’s the path/name of the `docker-compose.yml` file, not `config.env`.

Thx! been struggling for a couple of hourse now.
So I now manually installed docker instead of the built-in docker installation in Ubuntu. All’s working great now. Thanks!
