It seems like this is the same issue as #361. I'm actually running into the same issue myself; poked around a bunch w/ permissions, etc. but couldn't really get it to work. exec'd into the dockge container and was able to run docker and docker compose commands just fine, so I'm not quite sure why the spawn docker command is throwing an exception here.

I ran into the same problem. Before using dockge, there were other stacks on my host. Is this error caused by dockge not being able to manage existing stacks?

[Deepseek1]

I get the same error if I change to the beta repo. Changing back to :1 doesn't fix it.

I'm getting the same error as pvalfar as well.

Same here! In version 1.4.2

After adding the above user configuration, I did not report any errors, but I am not sure if this is the cause

[bwirt]

For me this was a permissions problem. Made sure my docker compose assigns proper user:group and ensured stacks directory had appropriate write permissions for this user, as well as access to docker socket.

The error wasn't obvious, would be nice to have the app check this on boot.

[Dark-Existed]

Hi everyone,
I found that might be caused by a mismatch between the name field in your docker-compose.yml and your folder name. To resolve this, make sure that the folder name and the name field are the same. You can do this by either editing the name field or changing the folder name to match.

[gvkhna]

I'm encountering this error in the logs as well. Although I don't see any issues with functionality. I believe it's because it's not resolving the PATH for the binary. If I exec into the container through bash, the docker compose ps works, I would guess it's ENOENT because it's not finding the binary.

dockge/backend/stack.ts

Line 96 in d451e06

let res = await childProcessAsync.spawn("docker", [ "compose", "ps", "--format", "json" ], {

Interestingly I'm running docker compose ps and nothing comes up inside the container. But docker compose ls does show dockge running. Probably something I'll have to investigate on my end. All I did was install docker, colima and docker-compose with homebrew and set that up on a new mac.

[jedmund]

@gvkhna did you ever figure this out? I'm running the same stack as you (docker, colima, docker-compose via homebrew)

For thread context, I'm running into the same problem. Everything was working fine but Dockge hung after restarting a stack so I took the dockge container down, only for it to not come back up again.

The Dockge web server comes online and says my stacks are not managed by Dockge, despite not having changed the stack folder names or location. I also get this familiar error in the logs:

I have the same problem. Yesterday it was working, nothing was changed, today all the 30 stacks "are not managed by dockge" and in the log i have that ENOENT error

I tried to restore the dockge.db from a past backup, but it does not change the result

Have you tried rebooting the machine? This worked for me in the past.

[gvkhna]

I haven’t checked as it hasn’t caused any issue. But just based on the code I suspect it is not resolving the PATH correctly.

[Magneticdud]

I think for me it's caused by an unrelated issue with my ugly hack fuse mounted fs that caused the disappearance of all the compose.yml files (probably user error and not software bug)
