Description
Apparently mailcow's update script checks for v2.x docker compose versions.
Having the latest one (we're atm on v5.x) breaks the update script.
Steps to reproduce:
- Execute the install method mentioned in mailcow docks:
LATEST=$(curl -Ls -w %{url_effective} -o /dev/null https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest) && \
LATEST=${LATEST##*/} && \
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/$LATEST/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose- Run
./update.sh - Observe the script breaking
Logs:
