Error: docker compose up --wait command failed!

[DanBuxton]

Sorry if this has been asked before. I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 with 2 cores and 10GB ram.

I get this:

Am I missing something?

@DanBuxton thanks for reporting this. The issue seems to be related with the ulimits usage in docker-compose.yml generated by start-local. I found this issue of another project that seems to be related. I need to investigating more since we don't have other evidences.

@DanBuxton I just noticed that you are running start-local as root using sudo. You should remove sudo in the command, just:

curl -fsSL https://elastic.co/start-local | sh

Let me know if you can try, thanks!

running without sudo makes no difference.

check group named docker is created using command "groups"
if not try creating the group named docker using command "newgrp docker"
This worked for me. Hope this helps make your day better!

@DATACREW-ROHITH-VIGNESH Thanks for the advice, unfortunately no luck

@DanBuxton I just released a new version of start-local with many fixes, see here. Can you try to run it using the usual command:

curl -fsSL https://elastic.co/start-local | sh

Thanks!

No luck I'm afraid. Still get the original error
