It seems like you're encountering an issue with Docker Compose version while deploying Airbyte. According to the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/upgrading-airbyte), Airbyte version 0.40.27 or later requires Docker Compose V2 to be installed before upgrading. If you have Docker Compose V2 installed and still facing the issue, it might be due to the Docker version installed via snap. As per the [forum discussion](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/3583), a user faced a similar issue and resolved it by removing the snap version of Docker and installing the apt version of Docker. Ubuntu seems to always prefer the snap version, no matter what other Docker versions are installed. Here are the steps to remove the snap version and install the apt version: 1. Remove the snap version of Docker:

bash sudo snap remove docker

2. Install the apt version of Docker:

bash sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli <http://containerd.io|containerd.io>

3. Verify the installation:

bash docker --version docker-compose --version

After these steps, try deploying Airbyte again. If the issue persists, it might be helpful to check the logs for more specific error messages.
