docker-compose error - Cannot locate specified Dockerfile: Dockerfile

Question

I'm trying to run docker-compose from /mnt/win/docker/ (I've changed the default docker directory for more space. Can't recall which file I configured in order to do it)

I get the following Error:

ERROR: compose.cli.errors.log_api_error: Cannot locate specified Dockerfile: Dockerfile

see docker-compose.yml below

I'm following wurstmeister/kafka-docker procedure: ref1:git wurstmeister ref2: tutorial

Answer 1

above docker-compose file assumes that you have Dockerfile in same folder .
Change build: . --> image: wurstmeister/kafka in your docker-compose file .then it should work

Answer 2

It seems the related documentation is uncomplete. You've to download the github project, where there is the docker-compose.yml AND the rest of the files needed to be able to build the kafka docker image :

git clone https://github.com/wurstmeister/kafka-docker
cd kafka-docker

Modify the KAFKA_ADVERTISED_HOST_NAME in docker-compose.yml to match your docker host IP

docker-compose up -d
