Cannot load handler for unknown Payload type 'docker-compose'

We have set up one mender server and one mender client, both on Debian 9 on AWS.

When I deploy I notice the error below:

2020-03-04 10:46:08 +0000 UTC error: Fetching Artifact headers failed: installer: failed to read Artifact: readHeaderV3: handleHeaderReads: Cannot load handler for unknown Payload type ‘docker-compose’

The artifact is below:

Mender artifact:

Format: mender
Version: 3
Signature: no signature
Compatible devices: ‘[plants-of-tomorrow-softclient]’

I am very beginner with all this, so any help is much appreciated.

Are you trying to deploy a file? Then you should probably use the single-file Update Module, which is available here. The article tells you how to install it and use it.

The message you are getting is because there is no Update Module with the name “docker-compose”. I believe this message has been improved in the 2.2.0 client, which is just around the corner.
