Compose: The Docker Engine version is less than the minimum required by Compose with 1.14.0

[bperel]

The docker-compose.yml that I try to use has version 3 (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jamiejackson/docker-mariadb-replication/master/docker-compose.yml) and docker-compose has version 1.14.0 so it shouldn't throw an error.

what is the output of docker version?

[bperel]

@shin- Docker version 1.12.6, build 78d1802

[shin-]

@bperel You'll need Docker 1.13.0 at minimum for a 3.0 file. See the compatibility matrix on the release page.

Thank you for the explanation, I always get confused with Docker, Docker Compose and docker-compose.yml versions.

I've got the same issue with a new docker:

Client:
 Version:      17.07.0-ce
 API version:  1.24 (downgraded from 1.31)
 Go version:   go1.8.3
 Git commit:   87847530f7
 Built:        Wed Aug 30 21:31:46 2017
 OS/Arch:      linux/amd64

Server:
 Version:      1.12.6
 API version:  1.24 (minimum version )
 Go version:   go1.7.6
 Git commit:   a82d35e
 Built:        Wed Sep 20 22:27:13 2017
 OS/Arch:      linux/amd64
 Experimental: false

Strange that it's still asking for Docker Engine 0.13:

krister ➜ docker-compose build
Building daemon
ERROR: The Docker Engine version is less than the minimum required by Compose. Your current project requires a Docker Engine of version 1.13.0 or greater.

Not sure why it's saying "downgraded from 0.31". Perhaps since I'm already connected to the server there's older software there. Checking...

edit: yeah this seems to be the problem. Also upgrading the DigitalOcean coreos doesn't work :D Going to use coreos-beta instad of coreos-stable.

edit2: coreos-beta was still using 0.12, but coreos-alpha worked.

Change version to 2 in yml file

[Karadiavinay]

My current Docker version is 1.11.0 and docker-compose is at 1.25.0-rc1
I Change version to '2' in docker-compose.yml and it worked for me.
