Hi there, I cloned the application and started it with the docker-compose up -d but i got the following error:

Your output says:

Are you trying to mount a directory onto a file (or vice-versa)? Check if the specified host path exists and is the expected type'

I had the same problem since I only copied the docker-compose.yml. This docker compose contains a container called jhipster-alerter which references two volumes. Both these volumes can be found in this repository and should be added to your implementation.
See:

• https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-console/tree/master/alerts/rules
• https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-console/blob/master/jhipster-alerter/config.yaml

I have been struggling with this issue. I tried doing it like the README says, cloning the project and running docker-compose from inside the bootstrap directory, where reference to config.yaml is correct. I had the same issue in the Windows server but worked perfectly on my production Debian server.

I think the problem is that on Windows container, you CANNOT bind or mount single files. See stack overflow link

So the volume line:

- ../jhipster-alerter/config.yaml:/opt/elastalert/config.yaml

Does not work on Windows and everything breaks
