does anyone have a example copy of their docker compose file they are using to run channels-dvr with compose instead of the docker run command? I'm getting errors with environment variables and wanted to see a stock .yml file for channels that someone else is running to make sure im not making any mistakes. thanks for any help.

You may have to adjust some values based on what you're running docker on.
Here's the one recommended by Channels
Here's one where I'm using the TVE tagged version in a container on my Synology NAS and using port 8189 instead of the default 8089.
services:
# Docker container home: https://hub.docker.com/r/fancybits/channels-dvr
# image uses host mode networking and port is specified by env variable CHANNELS_PORT
channels-dvr-8189:
image: fancybits/channels-dvr:tve # use :tve tag, not :latest
container_name: channels-dvr-8189
network_mode: "host" # must run in host, not bridge mode
devices:
- "/dev/dri:/dev/dri" # to enable hardware transcoding
environment:
- CHANNELS_PORT=8189 # host port number to use
- TZ=America/Los_Angeles # local timezone in standard linux format
volumes:
- "/volume1/docker/channels-dvr-8189:/channels-dvr" # Channels DVR executables and log directory
- "/volume1/ChDVR8189:/volume1/ChDVR8189" # Channels DVR recording directory
- "/volume1/arkives/importtest:/shares/imports:ro" # Volumes for local content import directories
restart: unless-stopped
I use https://www.composerize.com/ to convert a docker run command to docker compose. It always has legal syntax, but you may need to touch up some details of files used.
Below is how I'm running it.
channels-dvr:
image: fancybits/channels-dvr:latest
container_name: Channels-DVR
network_mode: host
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=America/Chicago
restart: unless-stopped
devices:
- '/dev/dri:/dev/dri'
volumes:
- /home/docker/channels-dvr/config:/channels-dvr
- /home/docker/channels-dvr/recordings:/shares/DVR
