Hello,
I used the docker-compose.yml file as indicated but when executing the command $ docker-compose up -d I get the following error. Any idea?

user@BlackCandy:/home/user/blackcandy# docker compose up -d

Hi, The error message already told you the solution

The container name "/blackcandy_app" is already in use by container "5e4af0acded20d7dfce8f4814d5f722a10425fd23e77df561d1f10c7f753dfb9". You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name.

So you can remove the duplicate container like this: docker container rm 5e4af0acded20d7dfce8f4814d5f722a10425fd23e77df561d1f10c7f753dfb9. Then you can try to start the those services docker-compose up -d

Hello,
Thanks for the answer but I got this problem when using the docker-compose up -d command from scratch. So I didn't have any container when it started...

[aidewoode]

Sorry, I didn't notice this is the issue from scratch. And I have done some test on virtual machine. This error only occurred when I use docker-compose v2. But on docker-compose v1, all things were fine. I think this issue relate to this docker-compose issue docker/compose#9014 .

So for now you should use docker-compose v1 instead of docker-compose v2. And I will take some time to find out how to support docker-compose v2 and fix this issue.

Dear Aidewoode,
No problem. Ok great to know! I'll check this :-) Have a nice day!!
