Paste full file contents here.

    ports:

      - "443:443"
    volumes:

      database__client: mysql
      database__connection__host: db
      database__connection__user: root
      database__connection__password: example
      database__connection__database: ghost
      # this url value is just an example, and is likely wrong for your environment!
      url: http://localhost:8080
      # contrary to the default mentioned in the linked documentation, this image defaults to NODE_ENV=production (so development mode needs to be explicitly specifi>
      #NODE_ENV: development

    restart: always
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: example

Make sure backticks stay on their own lines,
and the post looks nice in the preview pane. -->

d. My complete Caddy config:

Paste your config here, replacing this text.
Use `caddy fmt` to make it readable.
DO NOT REDACT anything except credentials.
LEAVE DOMAIN NAMES INTACT.
Make sure the backticks stay on their own lines.

3. The problem I’m having:

I cannot pull caddy image.

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

Paste logs/commands/output here.
volume caddy_data declared as external, but could not be found. please create the volume manually using `docker volume create --name=caddy_data` and try again.
USE THE PREVIEW PANE TO MAKE SURE IT LOOKS NICELY FORMATTED.

5. What I already tried:

docker volume create --name=caddy_data

6. Links to relevant resources:

Your docker-compose file looks invalid. You can’t have version in there twice, you can’t just paste two docker-compose files one after the other.

And the error it gives you is correct, you need to create the caddy_data volume ahead of time before trying to run it, because it’s declared as external.

I tried to remove ghost version but it won’t work, I thought It could stack up Self Hosting a Ghost blog with docker-compose, Mailgun setup, and Stripe subscriptions
what should I do ??

How do I make my docker-compose not create this external caddy_data?
