Issues when run docker compose in swarm mode

Docker Engine Swarm
1

Hi, I am trying to use docker compose in swarm, I created the swarm by "docker swarm init --advertise-addr " based on the tutorial in https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/swarm-tutorial/, which does not use docker machine (and virtualbox) for the swarm setup. After swarm manager created, I saw “swarm” is active in the “docker info” command. Then I tried to use docker compose to create containers, it seems docker compose can’t recognize that it is in the swarm mode, since docker compose can’t find the overlay network specified in the compose yml, if I specify a bridge network in the compose yml file, docker compose finds it. Very appreciate if any docker experts can share the experience when use compose inside swarm without docker machine and virtualbox. Thanks for the help.

Here are the commands I have run:
