Sitecore 10.2 Docker Deploy exits with Named Pipes Error

Question

I have recently installed Docker Desktop for Windows, version 20.10.10. It is running in Windows Container mode. I am running Windows 10 Pro Version 20H2.

I am going through the Sitecore XP 10.2.0 Developer Workstation Deployment With Docker as per this this guide. I have downloaded the Sitecore 10.2 Container Deployment Package.

I have chose the ltsc2019 version of Windows, and XP0 topology.

I have successfully run the composer-init.ps1 script.

However, when I run docker-compose.exe up --detach, once the downloads are complete I receive the following error:

Error response from daemon: Unrecognised volume spec: file '\\.\pipe\docker_engine' cannot be mapped. Only directories can be mapped on this platform

This seems to be related to this section of the docker-compose.yml:

volumes:
  - source: \\.\pipe\docker_engine
    target: \\.\pipe\docker_engine
    type: npipe
  - ./traefik:C:/etc/traefik

As a result, I am unable to start all of the Sitecore Containers. I would appreciate some direction on how to resolve this. I haven't been able to find much information on this error.

Thanks

Answer 1

You're running in Docker Compose V2 mode. Run the following command:

docker-compose disable-v2

Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68010612/error-response-from-daemon-unrecognised-volume-spec-file-pipe-docker-engi/70039471

Answer 2

After disabling the V2 mode docker-compose disable-v2 You might still get the same error, you run the following docker-compose command which will remove the cache and execute. which was helped for me!

docker-compose up -d --no-deps

Answer 3

I got the same error and the solutions for me was to add a \ to the end.

So:

- source: \\.\pipe\docker_engine\
  target: \\.\pipe\docker_engine\      

instead of:

- source: \\.\pipe\docker_engine
  target: \\.\pipe\docker_engine

Hope this helps someone.
