aipirvu · 2020-10-06T09:47:16Z

I have the same problem on Docker Desktop (for Windows). I managed to use the stack command after I have disabled "Deploy Docker Stack to Kubernetes by default" setting under "Kubernetes" category in the docker desktop's settings. I haven't yet tried to enabled it back and see if I still have the error, but it is worth trying.

ianplunkett · 2020-10-07T06:04:37Z

@aipirvu I'm also able to deploy the stack if I don't have Kubernetes as the default stack. But that deploys the stack using swarm as the orchestrator not Kubernetes.

@aipirvu I'm also able to deploy the stack if I don't have Kubernetes as the default stack. But that deploys the stack using swarm as the orchestrator not Kubernetes.

Indeed. This workaround is only valid if you don't necessarily need to use Kubernetes as the orchestrator.

lutogin · 2020-10-07T12:03:43Z

I have the same problem, have not found solution?

TimMensch · 2020-10-13T18:00:32Z

Same issue on Windows.

So far I've found that Compose on Kubernetes seems to be missing:

$ kubectl api-versions|grep compose
# no results

So somehow it's not being auto-installed?

Tried uninstalling (unchecking the checkbox) Kubernetes, and then re-installing. No good.

Tried running the compose on kubernetes installer. Now I'm seeing:

$ kubectl api-versions|grep compose
# nothing

$ kubectl get pods -n docker
NAME                           READY   STATUS             RESTARTS   AGE
compose-76678757f-lxtx5        1/1     Running            0          69s
compose-api-69d6cb9cd8-lnp4n   0/1     CrashLoopBackOff   3          69s

AND I'm noting that the latest alpha version in the installer on the compose-on-kubernetes page adds this relevant comment:

Added Kubernetes 1.16 support.

Considering that we're now on 1.18, and it's crashing, there may be a hint there.

Though, in the crash log for the compose-api run above, I'm seeing:

Error: --etcd-servers must be specified

... plus usage information for:

/go/src/github.com/docker/compose-on-kubernetes/cmd/api-server/main.go

So...something is just broken right now maybe?

Would be nice to see a comment from a Docker dev. Hint hint.

I do have the same issue.

same issue on win 10

cclauss · 2020-11-20T09:48:59Z

These capabilities are not nearly as out-of-the-box as https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/kubernetes would make you believe. I needed to brew install etcd helm kubernetes-cli and then install compose-on-kubernetes as described at https://github.com/docker/compose-on-kubernetes#install-compose-on-kubernetes-on-docker-desktop before I could get beyond the failed to find a Stack API version error. The docker stack commands are now working on my Mac.

Update: Upon rebooting my Mac, this all failed again and now the docker stack commands always fail.

% kubectl config use-context docker-desktop
Switched to context "docker-desktop".

spmsupun · 2020-11-22T11:50:12Z

Same on Ubuntu

cecilemuller · 2020-11-22T20:17:10Z

So if I understand correctly, Docker Desktop provides a Kubernetes cluster, but doesn't ship with "Compose on Kubernetes" that Stack requires, hence this error.

Then why is there an option to make the cluster the default orchestrator if it doesn't ship with the necessary software that allows it to be? Perhaps they assumed people use a kubeconfig instead of a Compose config ? I suspect people using a kubeconfig would use the Kubernetes CLI directly, not Stack (but I might be wrong on that).

I think the option should at least mention that additional software needs to be installed if one wants to use a Compose config with Stack, to avoid confusion.

cclauss · 2020-11-22T20:26:52Z

Correct. docker/docs#11773 is a request that the official docs be updated.

dchien234 · 2020-12-02T08:22:04Z

Same problem. Happened on macOS 10.15.7.

cclauss · 2021-01-15T14:52:37Z

Are there any Docker contributors that would be willing to mentor me thru opening a PR to fix this issue?
There have been several Docker releases that have not fixed this issue.

Yes, this solved my issue on MacOS.

I am trying to deploy on Kubernetes.
I have the same problem and now https://github.com/docker/compose-on-kubernetes is archived and no longer mantained.
This is not well documented at all. From the documentation one would think that this would work out of the box
