Click on the settings gear icon (Preferences)
Navigate to the Resources/FILE SHARING tab
Add the directory for the backend of the project
In my case, I added
/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/project/backendat the bottom by clicking the plus sign (+) and then applied the changes.
Each person needs to specify the directory they cloned from GitHub.
Run docker compose up -d again
It started successfully!

That's all.
As mentioned in the error message, I thought some people might struggle to find the gear icon for some time (about 30 seconds), so I decided to write this guide.
