I’m experiencing the same issue.
Ubuntu 16.04
Docker version 17.09.0-ce, build afdb6d4
docker-compose version 1.8.0
Tried re-installing docker-ce with apt-get purge --auto-remove
. No luck. Restarting docker service with sudo service docker restart
works but stopping the service every time I have to use the docker-compose down
command is not a fix.
