Asked By CuriousCoder82 On

I'm trying to tear down my current Docker setup using the command `docker-compose rm -f -v --env-file .env.dev`, but I keep getting an error that says `unknown flag: --env-file`. I'm relatively new to Docker and I'm having a hard time figuring out what's going wrong. Here's my Docker Compose YAML configuration for context.

The issue is that the `docker-compose rm` command doesn't accept the `--env-file` flag at all. You can check the documentation or simply run `docker-compose rm --help` to see the options available. Just remove the `--env-file` part from your command.

It sounds like you might be missing some environment variables that your configuration relies on. You could either define them directly in your command line or set up your `docker-compose.yml` file to include all necessary environment definitions. If you need specific guidance, sharing your YAML file here could help.
