@larrryfisherthefisherman you say:

This is what I get when I try and run: https://github.com/docker/awesome-compose/tree/master/react-rust-postgres

What command are you running?

When I run:
docker dev create https://github.com/docker/awesome-compose/tree/master/react-rust-postgres --name rrp

I get a similar error, only in my case the end result is
unable to prepare context: path "../backend" not found
error: exit status 17

After cloning the react-rust-postgres project with the above docker dev create ... command, which failed as described, I am able to successfully run the app with docker compose up -d.

There must be something special about the docker dev environment that we're both missing, but I have been researching this issue (with the help of phind.com) all day without success.
