Hello,
Recently I’ve noticed the output of docker-compose up -d became very hard to follow since it allways append to the console and generates enormous output log.
Is there something I could do with it?
Looks like it’s connected to the size of my terminal…
I have a big list of services so they can’t fit one screen
What is the version of Docker Compose? It looks like it is at least v2.0 but what version exactly?
If the problem is not Docker compose, sometimes it is the terminal which cannot support updating texts on the screen. It happens for example when I run docker pull in a CI/CD process and try to see the result from a web browser. If you can tell me the exact version, I try it. I have already sent a pull request to fix an issue in one of Docker Compose’s components, so I am willing to try it again if it is necessary 
But let’s hope there is an other solution so you don’t need to wait for a new release.
So please, share the version of Docker Compose and also what terminal software you are using so I can try that too
@rimelek
I’m using:
- Docker version 20.10.13, build a224086
- Docker Compose version v2.3.3
And for terminal I’m using vscode’s integrated terminal and zsh:
- VsCode Version: 1.65.2
- zsh 5.8 (x86_64-apple-darwin21.0)
Thank you for looking in to it)
And I like to note one more time:
When the output of docker-compose fits my terminal window size then everything’s ok. E.g. when I have one-two images in my docker-compose.
But when my terminal has window height less than the output of docker-compose then I have a problem) And the project where I work has about 62 services and they can’t fit one screen
I tried it in VSCode and directly from a terminal. Here is my config if some want’s to try it assuming that the used images are not downloaded yet.
services:
test2:
image: httpd:2.4
test-app:
image: nginx
php:
image: php
docker compose up -d

Some of the lines are expected but the progressbars on so many lines are not. So yes, it is worth a bugreport on GitHub: Issues · docker/compose · GitHub
If you don’t send it, I will do that sometime. Even if I would have time to fix it, a pull request itself does not get enough attention apparently
Thank you for looking into this. I’ve submitted the issue
