Hello Support,
I am getting an error while docker-compose up when setting up the first project.
Below is the error
The error is happening on Ubuntu 20 LTS
Hi @Fred_Kwebiha - welcome to the forum! Thanks a bunch for making your first post here - it’s always great seeing a member of the community reach out here so we can help them and also so others can learn from your post.
Looking at your errors, it looks like the ${PWD} values aren’t getting expanded so the two environment variables of DOCKER_CONFIG_PATH and CHT_COMPOSE_PATH are being passed in as NULL values to docker compose.
Assuming you’re following the app developer setup steps, a fix should be to replace ${PWD} with the current path of ~/cht-4-app-developer. Try running these two commands:
cd ~/cht-4-app-developer
CHT_COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=app-devl COUCHDB_SECRET=foo DOCKER_CONFIG_PATH=~/cht-4-app-developer COUCHDB_DATA=~/cht-4-app-developer/couchd CHT_COMPOSE_PATH=~/cht-4-app-developer COUCHDB_USER=medic COUCHDB_PASSWORD=password docker-compose up
Please let us know if that fixes it!
Thanks @mrjones
I am getting the same error, after following your steps. The error is volume name is too short, names should be at least two alphanumeric characters
Oh no! I’m sorry the issue is still persisting. Let’s try:
- Giving the result of
docker volume ls - Can copy your terminal text into this thread? I’d like to see everything from start to finish. I’ve pasted mine in below as an example.
- If this is too frustrating, we’ve created the CHT Docker Helper which should automate a lot of the manual steps you’re facing problems with.
Cheers,

@Fred_Kwebiha - I was doing some testing and have reproduced your original error on an older version of docker. Can you let me know which version of Docker and Docker Compose you’re running? Do so by showing the results of these commands (some may fail):
docker -v
docker-compose -v
docker compose -v
Here’s what I see when I run these:
Docker version 23.0.5, build bc4487a
Docker Compose version v2.11.2
Docker version 23.0.5, build bc4487a
@mrjones Find results below.
docker --version
Docker version 23.0.4, build f480fb1
docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.27.4, build 40524192
@Fred_Kwebiha - thanks!
Can you try upgrading to the latest version of docker-compose? The 2.x version might fix your issue.
What are the upgrade steps? Kindly list them for me.
Hi @Fred_Kwebiha ,
Just checking if you were able to resolve the issue? @mrjones had shared the stackoverflow link that guides on upgrading docker-compose:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/49839172
Please let us know if it fixed the issue or if there is still any error.
Hello @niraj
I am still getting issues even after upgrading docker-compose to the latest version
docker-compose --version
Docker Compose version v2.17.3
cd ~/cht-4-app-developer

thanks for letting us know, @Fred_Kwebiha ,
Hi @mrjones, any other suggestions you would recommend to resolve this issue?
@mrjones I have tried the helper, it also fails. below is the output
fred@fred-VirtualBox:~/cht-4-app-developer$ ./cht-docker-compose.sh
No project found, follow the prompts to create a project .env file.
Would you like to initialize a new project [y/N]? y

@Fred_Kwebiha - I’m so sorry to hear the problem is persisting! While it’s still a feature in development, can you try the beta of the DEBUG feature of the Docker Helper? Here’s how:
- go into the directory where you have CHT Core checked out
- switch to the dev branch with:
git fetch origin; git checkout cht4-compose-helper-debug - follow the normal steps to start the docker helper, but run it with
DEBUG=true ./cht-docker-compose.sh
You can see a video of what it will look if that will help!
