Additional properties 'logging' not allowed

[roadhazard]

I copied and pasted the sample yml file into docker-compose.yml and when I try to launch it: docker compose up -d, I get the following error: additional properties 'logging' not allowed

I'm sort of a newbie when it comes to docker and did some Googling and it seems that the 'logging' line isn't where it needs to be. So the sample yml file on the main page is incorrect?

the logging section needs proper indentation in docker-compose. it should be inside the service, not at root level.

should look like:

services:
  jellystat:
    image: ...
    logging:
      driver: json-file
      options:
        max-size: 10m

if youre using compose v2 (docker compose instead of docker-compose) the syntax is slightly different too. also check your docker compose version with docker compose version - older versions are more strict about formatting.
