Try this order.

Also unless you already configured your .env file as needed,
or you want to start over and delete .env file: do cp .env.example .env not cp .env

# Stop the container (if running)
docker-compose down
# Fetch the latest changes from Github
git fetch origin
# Switch to the repo's main branch
git checkout main
# Pull the latest changes to the main branch from Github
git pull origin main
# Prune all LibreChat Docker images
docker rmi librechat:latest
# Remove all unused dangling Docker images
docker image prune -f
# Building a new LibreChat image
docker-compose build

# Start LibreChat
docker-compose up

from: https://docs.librechat.ai/install/docker_compose_install.html#updating-librechat

These steps worked for me perfect on Linux 5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2 x86_64 x86_64

I'm getting the same issue on a Mac. (M1 Mac with 14.2.1 )

Tried the suggested order from the suggestion here but still got the same error.

[danny-avila]

Try editing the dockerfile, start the steps over except the git commands, and remove the curl part

RUN apk --no-cache add curl && \

so it would build like this

RUN touch .env && \

You can also try the alternative compose file, deploy-compose:
docker-compose -f ./deploy-compose.yml up

You can also try the alternative compose file, deploy-compose:
docker-compose -f ./deploy-compose.yml up

This worked for me, thank you so much!

[danny-avila]

Sweet glad that worked!

[danny-avila]

I'll add that I had issues on Windows 11 with a somewhat related docker build error, and it was resolved after updating Docker Desktop. If anyone has issues, it's worth trying that.

[danny-avila]

Even on Linux, I would recommend updating docker compose to latest version
