On Ubuntu 24.04 with the docker.io package,
docker compose
(Compose v2plugin) is not installed by default, but the legacy
docker-compose
binary is available and works.
The current install.sh assumes that if
docker compose version
fails,Compose is not installed at all, and unconditionally tries to install
the docker-compose-plugin. This can fail in two ways:
Ubuntu's docker-buildx from docker.io.
Even if the install succeeds, final user instructions always print
docker compose ...
, which fails on systems that only have the legacybinary.
Fix:
$DOCKER_CMD compose
but falls back to
docker-compose
if available.$COMPOSE_CMD
for the plugin check and in final instructions.This avoids unnecessary installs, prevents package conflicts, and makes
the installer work on both Docker's official packages and Ubuntu's
docker.io defaults.
