Hello!
I'm struggling to get appwrite running on my VPS. I'm receiving this docker-compose error message when running the command provided in docs.
ERROR: The Compose file './docker-compose.yml' is invalid because:
services.appwrite.build.args contains false, which is an invalid type, it should be a string, number, or a null
This section screenshot is attached to the post.
Also I want to say thanks for your amazing work. Keep it up 💪.
Regards, Arseniy.

Hmm what version of docker compose do you have installed?

1.29.2

You'll need to upgrade to v2

oh

alright, give me a moment to try


This version is 2 years old 😬

I didn't even checked which version it is to be honest. Didn't know that v2 is separate package in ubuntu.

xd

They did a whole rewrite going from python to go. It's more modular and faster 🚀

Hello. Sorry for disturbing you again. I just tried to install appwrite once again. Docker compose can't pull some images. Do you have any idea of what might be the issue?

Did docker compose build
run properly?

Thanks for response. Sorry, I forgot to post an update. I managed to fix this.
