error unmarshalling content: invalid character ‘<’ looking for beginning of value
the above error is all I keep getting when trying to run the docker command:
docker-compose up -d
is there any reason why this command will not work
It’s telling you there’s an invalid character in your compose file somewhere.
Without being able to see your compose file, I can’t tell you why!
You need to check your file, and run it through a YAML syntax validator. Likely you have a typo, or haven’t put something in quotes that needs to be.
I have taken to reinstalling the windows machine any way but the file came direct from yourselves so I cannot see why that would be,
I downloaded the version 1.8.11 to upgrade and then nothing, it gave the error,
but I have resolved the issue by rebuilding the machine that it was hosted on
If the files from us are the same, and reinstalling Windows resolved it, then it seems unlikely its anything we’re going to be able to help you with I’m afraid.
I realised that after I reinstalled windows but I posted this before doing the reinstall, as we had a urgent reason to get it back up and running and I could not wait, but you posted just after I stated the reinstall
