docker-compose invalid type in volume

I am getting a following error when I run docker-compose up: *volumes contains an invalid type, it should be a string* my docker-compose file: data-emitter: build: context: DataEmitter dockerfile: ./Dockerfile volumes: - type: bind source: ./DataEmitter/data/logs.txt target: /data/logs.txt read_only: true Since there is a type: bind, what is the problem here?

Docker compose versions are not compatible, because of that they don't support all functions, you have to read the documentation of the version.

Installing the newest version of docker-compose should solve this issue.

Current docker-compose is probably installed via 'apt-get install'.

If the 'docker-compose -v' is not 1.27.4 (currently newest version)

Run following:

'sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download//docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose'

Instead of VERSION you put 1.27.4 which is the currently newest version.

Afterwards apply executable permissions on the downloaded binary:
'sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose'

Now after running 'docker-compose -v' you should have the '1.27.4' version and the Dockerfile should not throw an error.
