docker.errors.DockerException: Error while fetching server API version: (2, 'CreateFile', 'The system cannot find the file specified.')
[10776] Failed to execute script docker-compose

Here is the Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.7.4
ENV PYTHONBUFFERED 1
WORKDIR /app
COPY requirements.txt /app/requirements.txt
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
COPY . /app
CMD python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3.9'
services:
  backend:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
    volumes:
      - .:/app

Can somebody help to solve this error. Actually I'm trying to solve this error from last 3 hours but still I din't found any solution & for this I'm using docker-compose version 1.29.2 & below is the requirement.txt if you need to solve this error.

asgiref==3.3.4
Django==3.2.3
django-cors-headers==3.11.0
djangorestframework==3.13.1
importlib-metadata==4.10.0
numpy==1.20.3
pandas==1.2.4
pika==1.2.0

pytz==2021.1
six==1.16.0

typing-extensions==3.10.0.0
zipp==3.7.0

Your docker-compose is very old. The current version is 2.2.3. — sarema

Is the Docker daemon actually running; can you run docker info successfully (its output isn't interesting, it just needs to not return an error)? — David Maze

Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. — Community

Docker Compose needs privilege access, make sure to provide the one before running the docker-compose command otherwise you get the Traceback as you mentioned.

You may need to kill the current Docker process and restart the Docker Desktop, then it works most likely.

P.S. I am on MacOS and getting the same error as above after restarting and providing the root access to Docker Desktop (version 4.10.1) application I am able to run the docker-compose command successfully.

docker-compose up -d --build
