Did you install Docker and Compose according to the official docs? They start off with apt remove docker.io docker-doc docker-compose docker-compose-v2 podman-docker containerd runc to remove the distro-packaged versions of Docker and its dependencies or alternative drop-in compatibles.

In older versions of Compose, yes you'd invoke it with docker-compose. Not so with newer versions since v2, ollama-webui expects version >=3.8 btw.
