Docker Compose
Docker Compose profile name is invalid
Valid profiles names follow the regex format [a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+
Docker Compose requires profile names to match a specific pattern, and invalid names can break profile-based stack configuration.
Observed message
Valid profiles names follow the regex format [a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+
Why it happens
- A profile name contains unsupported characters.
- The profile name begins with an invalid character.
- A copied profile name does not comply with the Compose specification.
How to fix it
- Rename the profile to use only supported characters and format.
- Check every profile reference in the Compose file after renaming it.
- Validate the Compose configuration before running the stack.
