Discard "docker-compose" in favor of "docker compose"

[sincerelysaucy]

The published "docker-compose" binary is obsolete and unmaintained, and the "docker compose" plugin is actively being supported and built into contemporary releases of docker. Please discard the use of "docker-compose" or at least check for and use "docker compose" first in the bitwarden.sh, run.sh, and run.ps1 files. Its use encourages separately installing and relying on obsolete software, which should not be welcomed for security related software.

The above issue, #232, is unrelated to this issue.

My instance is successfully using the 'docker compose' binary located in $HOME/.docker/cli-plugins

===================================================

bitwarden.sh version 2024.3.0
Docker version 26.0.0, build 2ae903e
Docker Compose version v2.26.1 <=============== latest Docker Compose release from Github

Updated self.
bitwarden@bitwarden:/opt/bitwarden$

I manually update this file using the Docker Compose Github releases page https://github.com/docker/compose/releases.

I do not have the binary that comes with the apt package docker-compose-plugin in my system path so it's not being used.

bitwarden@bitwarden:~$ dpkg -L docker-compose-plugin

/usr/libexec
/usr/libexec/docker
/usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins

The #232 actually is related. If you manually install "docker-compose", the "bitwarden.sh" script is written to use it by preference. And it's obsolete and unsupported, and should no longer even be attempted in place of the better supported "docker compose" command.

just adding my experience/pain regarding the use of docker-compose in the bitwarden.sh script 😅
my ubuntu installation contained the snap version of docker-compose. which messed up the bitwarden.sh start command. it would just error out and say something like

docker-compose.yml file doesn't exists. 
stat /opt/bitwarden/bwdata/docker/docker-compose.yml

even though it actually does exists.
it turns out the env var COMPOSE_FILE didn't work correctly when using docker-compose.
the fix was to remove docker-compose

Do you need a pull request for this? Because the old 'docker-compose' binary is now six months older.
