Docker compose: panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

Question

I just updated docker desktop for windows and when I run docker compose up --build app to refresh a remote image after changes to files, I get the following error. Every other compose command seems to be in order. Docker compose version: v2.12.2

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x28 pc=0x187d8c6]

I have faced the same problem while running docker-compose command.

Solution is very simple in the mac os. You should use "sudo" command before docker-componse.

sudo docker-compose up -d
