docker compose unsupported

[HafeezRai]

ERROR: Version in "./compose/app.yaml" is unsupported. You might be seeing this error because you're using the wrong Compose file version. Either specify a version of "2" (or "2.0") and place your service definitions under the services key, or omit the version key and place your service definitions at the root of the file to use version 1.
For more on the Compose file format versions, see https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/

Docker version 18.09.1, build 4c52b90
docker-compose version 1.8.0, build unknown

any help?

I'm also seeing this with version:

Docker version 18.06.1-ce, build e68fc7a
docker-compose version 1.17.1, build unknown

Using the version and service format specified as mentioned in the error let me get passed it. But unfortunately, it gives more issues.

Updating docker-compose fixes it, but I think it should at least try to generate configs that are compatible with the installed docker-compose version.

curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.0-rc1/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Re-install again problem solved!
