Clarification and Improvement of Docker Documentation in BlockScout Repository

Note added. Thanks for suggestion.

@blucrates which error do you see? There is a prerequisite https://github.com/blockscout/blockscout/blob/master/docker-compose/README.md#prerequisites. Are you using docker-compose v2?

Hi @vbaranov,

Thank you for your quick response. I've identified that the error I'm encountering is specific to the Docker Compose version provided on Ubuntu, which seems to be v1. When using the provided command:

docker-compose -f docker-compose-no-build-geth-clique-consensus.yml up -d

I'm getting the following error:

ERROR: Cannot extend service 'db' in /home/blucrates/blockscout-5.3.1-beta/docker-compose/services/docker-compose-db.yml: services with 'depends_on' cannot be extended

Interestingly, the deployment proceeds smoothly with Docker Compose v2, and for that version, I've been using the command:

docker compose -f docker-compose-no-build-geth-clique-consensus.yml up -d

Given this, I would like to suggest adding a note in the docker regarding the potential discrepancy in Docker Compose versions on Ubuntu. As there are two different Docker binaries on Ubuntu, providing clarity on which version is recommended for this deployment would greatly help users avoid such issues.

Your guidance on this matter would be highly appreciated.

Best Regards,
