ERROR: In file './docker-compose.yml' service 'version' doesn't have any configuration options

From searching online this error can sometimes be resolved by upgrading your version of docker-compose.

https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/4053

You can check which version you're using by running:

docker-compose version

@garak0410 is your Ubuntu up to date? Both did you install the latest Ubuntu which is 16.10 and have you done this to make sure that it is properly patched?

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Read the recommendations carefully, the alternative steps should be tried first.

That error usually means you have something open like Software Updater or something else needs to be closed.
Just reboot, login open terminal(if using a gui) and then do your
sudo apt-get update
edit forgot this: sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Do you have a GUI on this server?

Why the "desktop" version?

Linux has always been designed as a server first, and things removed for the desktop version. If you're using this to host applications, you really should use the "Server" version.

@garak0410 You might want to take some time to look at @scottalanmiller's Learning Linux System Administration.

My 2 cents.. I have a client that manages basic inventory and invoicing for her business with Inflow. It is affordable and does exactly what I need it to do.

Ubuntu Server is set up...both of these commands worked this time:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Still can't get the docker to work... on docker compose-up still get this:

ERROR: In file './docker-compose.yml' service 'version' doesn't have any configuration options. All top level keys in your docker-compose.yml must map to a dictionary of configuration options.

Here's my version information:

docker-compose version 1.5.2, build unknown
docker-py version: 1.8.0
CPython version: 2.7.12+

Haven't done tons with Docker. I'm not digging through the history here, but are you on the proper, current version of Ubuntu or are you on an older version? We know from another thread that if, at least in that case, using the old only partially supported LTS Ubuntu version instead of the current, fully supported version you get a Docker error like this. Make sure your on the current, fully supported version of Ubuntu.

@garak0410 Set up your Ubuntu Server 16.10 vm, and try my script to install Invoice Ninja with a self signed SSL certificate.

It has been building properly in all of my tests, it seems to hang during the app db migration but just let it run. Also remember when creating the ssl cert, to set your FQDN or IP (which ever you chose at the beginning) in the COMMON NAME option.

Get it with the following command or just copy paste the full script.

wget  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rodrigo-hissam/invoice-ninja-installer/master/ininja-installer.sh
chmod +x ininja-installer.sh
./ininja-installer.sh

@Romo That's awesome!!!

There are close to 100 migrations which explains why it takes so long, we're looking into enable use of a single SQL file when first installing to improve the performance.

Quick update...I've had zero time to devote to this because Accountant needed an ancient VB6 program enhanced and took me 1/2 of last week to do this. And this week, another manager wants me to convert an Excel Sheet to a web-based database. Office manager still demands an invoice program in 2 weeks and wants that "legacy" former IT guy to be involved...she ignored my pleas for help and friendly reminders that what she wants can't be done at my work load/skill level and the fact they don't want to pay a developer. Not counting the day to day (our VOiP system needed some work, a few PC rebuilds and phone replacements)...

And this point, it would be easier for me if I could run this Invoice Ninja (self-hosted) on my Windows Server 2012 R2 Applications/Web Server but even had struggles getting that going...

That's because the thing that is hard here is Invoice Ninja, not Linux. A normal app on Linux can be as little as one line to install. I wonder what IN is using that is making it so hard.
