When I finished working on my project I closed the docker app for Mac (mainly what the error says is that it cannot get the API version of Docker and or docker-compose).

Today I had the same issue that all containers are started when I boot my dev laptop, as restart: always was set in the .yml files. As I don’t want to touch the .yml files, I just found out (thx Bobby) how to alter this setting by: docker update –restart=no <MY-CONTAINER-ID>
