Docker 'redirection unexpected' error

Get Help
1

I am following the guide:
https://xibo.org.uk/docs/setup/xibo-2-1-0-with-docker-on-ubuntu-18-04

but on running docker-compose up -d I am receiving the error

Syntax error: redirection unexpected

I can’t find anything online about this so I’m a bit stuck. It’s a clean install and I am following the guide word for word.

Could someone help please?

Thank you for your message. can you confirm what happens if you try sudo docker-compose up -d instead?

Many Thanks.

I got the same error using 'sudo docker-compose up -d. I think a docker composer update broke it. I installed an older version of docker-compose at it worked.

Try
sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.21.0/docker-compose-'uname -s’-‘uname -m’ -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

I ran into the exact same error today,

The solution was to remove ‘uname -s’ - ‘uname -m’ out of the curl installation step and replace it with the specific version.

So this:

curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.1/docker-compose-`uname -s-uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Becomes this:

curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.1/docker-compose-Linux-x86_64 -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

As soon as I did that everything worked as expected.
