Docker-compose not working on Windows

[Davio]

I try to use a basic stack (no ELK) on Windows 10 (with the official Docker for Windows https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/) and get the following errors:

ERROR: for postgres Cannot start service postgres: invalid header field value "oci runtime error: container_linux.go:24

You have to adjust the volumes mappings for Windows. Remove - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime and replace /var/local/.. by a windows path. You also have to share the drive (s. https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/#docker-settings#shared-drives )

Docker-compose works with Docker Toolkit for Windows as well as Docker for Windows.

The only thing which doesn't work is volume mappings of host containers to windows location.

• Docker toolkit for Windows : Volume mappings do not work for slapd and postgres
• Docker for Windows : Volume mappings does not work for postgres
