Hello,  
I am following this tutorial [https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/docker-containers/](https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/docker-containers/) except that I’m stuck in step 6, this is what my VPS returns to me:  
root@serveurs:~# docker-compose up -d  
ERROR:  
Can’t find a suitable configuration file in this directory or any  
parent. Are you in the right directory?

```
    Supported filenames: docker-compose.yml, docker-compose.yaml

```

root@serveurs:~#

root @ servers: ~ # cd /var/www/rocket.chat/  
root @ servers: /var/www/rocket.chat# docker-compose up -d
