Description

In https://docs.docker.com/get-started/introduction/develop-with-containers/#start-the-project -> point 2 (where we need to run docker compose watch) to start the project, it gave me an error on ubuntu (vm running on windows host) during yarn installation as a result of executing the command "docker compose watch".

Location

https://docs.docker.com/get-started/introduction/develop-with-containers/

Suggestion

The issue was did not occur when I ran "docker compose up -d" as per the developer documentation located at https://github.com/docker/getting-started-todo-app/blob/main/README.md -> Development section.

Suggestion:
Add the comment that there might be a possible error at https://docs.docker.com/get-started/introduction/develop-with-containers/#start-the-project -> point 2 (where we need to run docker compose watch) . And instead run "docker compose up -d" to get the container working.
