Scale command is not creating the network

[arun-gupta]

Starting a Docker Compose application using the following configuration file:

mycouchbase:
  image: arungupta/couchbase-node

as: docker-compose --x-networking scale mycouchbase=3. Note, this is the direct command given as opposed to docker --x-networking up -d first.

It fails with the following error:

couchbase-node > docker-compose --x-networking scale mycouchbase=3

Scale command should be able to create the network if it does not already exist.

I don't think scale was ever designed to do this. I think this might be another reason to remove it, see #2496.

It's possible we could have scale create the default network if it doesn't already exist.

[arun-gupta]

+1 on creating default network. Added comments to #2496.

This seems to reference Compose 1.5.

@arun-gupta do you still experience this issue with Compose 1.6 or 1.7?

Thank you!

We experienced the same issue, it's kind of misleading that scale can replace up but then does not create the network.

I experienced the same problem after I upgraded to a version 2 YAML file and dockercloud-haproxy. Using Docker for Mac. docker-compose version 1.8.0, build f3628c7

I met this error by docker-compose scale pyro=1 lda_worker=2 lda_dispatcher=1:

Creating and starting gensimdocker_pyro_1 ... error

ERROR: for gensimdocker_pyro_1  Cannot create container for service pyro: network gensimdocker_default not found

So I tried docker-compose up , without problem.
Then I rerun docker-compose scale pyro=1 lda_worker=2 lda_dispatcher=1, it successed.

This behavious is confused.

I too encountered this but solved using the command docker-compose up --scale risk-analysis-service=10 i.e used up and --scale
