docker-compose up leads to “client and server don't have same version (client : 1.14, server: 1.12)” error but client and server have the same version

Question

docker version prints:

Client version: 1.0.1
Client API version: 1.12
Go version (client): go1.2.1
Git commit (client): 990021a
Server version:          


        

Answer 1

Checkout the environment variable COMPOSE_API_VERSION.

I was getting ERROR: client and server don't have same version (client : 1.19, server: 1.18), then I did export COMPOSE_API_VERSION=1.18 and problem sovled!
