When I run this Docker Compose file with docker-compose up; I get this error stack.

Any idea how to fix this ?

I figured it out.

The issue was is that when you work with Docker Volumes in windows you need to specifically give Docker access to volume locations. In my case; this docker-compose.yml file and volumes are located in D: drive.

You need to give permission to Docker to access this folder.

1. Go to Docker Settings and navigate to Resources tab and File Sharing under that tab and click on + button.

2. In the Select Folder dialog appearing after that; select the navigate to folder and click on Select Folder.

3. Click on Apply & Restart

After restarting the Docker; try again with docker-compose up, and the issue is fixed. Yay!!!!!
