commands within docker-compose block don't work with docker machine

[Cally99]

Below block of code works fine locally (MAC Mojave) for project and runs django server, also works on EC2 ubuntu when docker and docker-compose are installed.

If I create a docker-machine env and run the project inside the vm the sh -c command won't work.
./wait-for-it.sh db:5432 not found. None of the commands work inside the block.

Is there any explanation why docker this type of command block won't work with docker machine?
