Description of problem:

The rhdh-local documentation does not specify minimum required versions for the compose tools (Docker Compose or Podman Compose) it supports.

This can lead to users encountering errors when attempting to run docker compose up -d (or the podman-compose equivalent) if they are using an older, incompatible version of their chosen compose tool.

The current compose.yaml file in the rhdh-local repository utilizes syntax that has been confirmed to require Docker Compose version v2.24.0 or newer (like required in env_file https://docs.docker.com/reference/compose-file/services/#required) .

It is likely that podman-compose may have similar version dependencies for the same syntax.
