How to update docker-compose version on windows 10

Question

I have docker and docker toolbox installed on Win10 machine.

docker -v Docker version 18.06.0-ce, build 0ffa825

docker-compose -v docker-compose version 1.22.0, build f46880fe

My docker version is up-to-date but the composer is not.

Any idea how can I update the composer version.

Answer 1

According to the Docker compose releases the latest version is 1.22.0 which is the one you have installed.

You have installed the latest docker compose, it was released 8 days ago.

Update:

In order to change your Docker compose file version just replace the line version, by today 26th July 2018 to set the latest docker compose file version just replace it by:

version: '3.7'

You need upgrade your Docker Desktop version.

Check, download and install lasted release version (Ex: Stable Releases of 2019):

https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/release-notes/

Each Docker Desktop release version has a specific version of Docker and docker-compose.

Today, 26th July 2018, docker-compose latest version is 1.22. I don't know why do you say that your docker-compose version is not up to date. Maybe you had a confusion with docker-compose file version

You can simply go to the settings of docker desktop for Windows and select the option "Use Docker Compose V2" Docker Desktop for windows settings

Infrangible

I overlooked that in the Docker settings... smh. Docker should have included this step in their CLI command docker-compose -v – Tied

Answer 5

I was experiencing the same issue even though my docker-compose --version showed that the version of compose I had was 1.25.4. This didn't work, I had tried reinstalling compose and docker desktop entirely on windows 10.

Eventually I changed my installation to use Linux containers, and used experimental mode. Worked.

Good luck.
