docker-compose up -d fails

Error -

Couldn't connect to Docker daemon at http+docker://localhost - is it running?

If it's at a non-standard location, specify the URL with the DOCKER_HOST environment variable.

I have the same issue here using the gitlab-ci, here's my file:

test_autoresponder:
  stage: test
  only:
    refs:
      - merge_requests
    changes:
      - stacks/autoresponder/**/*
  image:
    name: tiangolo/docker-with-compose:latest
  services:
    - docker:dind
  script:
    - docker-compose -p test -f docker-compose.test.yml up -d

I even tried with sudo before the docker-compose command, but it didn't help.

Your container should have access to the Docker daemon, for that, mount the Docker sock as a volume.

I think this post might help too: https://medium.com/better-programming/about-var-run-docker-sock-3bfd276e12fd
