Compose: docker-compose returns not found on Alpine Linux 3.3 64 bits

Hi,

On Alpine Linux 3.3 64 bits, I have an issue with docker-compose:

curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.6.2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose 
/usr/local/bin/docker-compose --version
-ash: /usr/local/bin/docker-compose: not found
docker-compose --version
-ash: docker-compose: not found

Using bash instead of default shell returns the same answer.

I have:

ls -al /usr/local/bin/docker-compose 
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       7929597 Apr 11 21:12 /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Regarding docker by itself, I use alpine package in community repo.

which docker
/usr/bin/docker
cvsq:~# docker -v
Docker version 1.10.3, build a5815f5

Using binary docker instead of alpine package does not change anything.

Any idea on the proper way to use docker-compose in an Alpine box ?

Thanks,
Nicolas

The Compose binary is dynamically linked against glibc which is not available on alpine. I believe that's why you get a not found.

You can install it from source using pip: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/#install-using-pip

Hi @dnephin

Indeed, it works this way.

Thanks for the precision regarding glibc.

Have a nice day,
Nicolas
