Error cannot start services after running docker-compose up -d using Laradock

Question

I just ran docker-compose up -d nginx mysql redis to install docker for the first time on Mac OSX 10.13.6 High Sirra. It seems I

From what I can gather it's telling me that I need to add /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ to Docker > Preferences > File Sharing. I tried that an am still getting similar errors.

I only use /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ as a place where I put my projects out of habit and don't actually start or use MAMP. Is it possible to solve this by just moving the file?

I also found out that I had MySQL running in the background, so I shut it off, restarted docker and reran docker-compose up -d nginx mysql redis with similar errors.

Edit

I added /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/community-messenger to to Docker > Preferences > File Sharing and am now getting a new error:

Answer 1

I see you are using Laradock. As error said, you should go to "Docker -> Preferences... -> File Sharing" and share this path:

/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/community-messenger

Answer 2

When running docker-compose you just should have a docker-compose.yml file which defines which containers to run. And you only have to type docker-compose up -d without specifying the containers again.

Your other problem is that you have defined mappings which do not exist on your host OS (Mac OS). You should either create them there, change the location or remove the mapping from your docker-compose.yml.

Answer 3

for my situation this worked:

docker-compose stop

// Stop and remove containers, networks, images, and volumes !!
docker-compose down

docker-compose up -d nginx mysql phpmyadmin redis workspace elasticsearch
