Compose: run docker-compose with "ERROR: No command specified"

[HackerWilson]

I have written a compose file to deploy sentry, which is worked on my virtualbox centos7. but when i deployed it on server which is also centos7, i got the error: ERROR: No command specified.
it is the log_api_error, does anyone meet it before?

[root@localhost sentry]# docker-compose up
Creating sentry-redis
ERROR: No command specified

the verbose output:

[root@localhost sentry]# docker-compose --verbose up

Please include your docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile.

This error message that a service is missing either a command: in the docker-compose.yml or a CMD in the Dockerfile. You must provide at least one.

It's possible on the previous host you were using an image that included a CMD.

[HackerWilson]

@dnephin yes, you are right. i re-pull the images then it is run again. thanks a lot.

What about scratch? which CMD add to Dockerfile?
