Cannot create volumes using Compose File? (Azure Container Instance) "plugin 'azure_file' missing"

Question

Hi.
Some wierd happened.
I have docker.compose.yaml -file with
`volumes:
-db-data:/home/api

volumes:
db-data:
driver: azure_file
driver_opts: ...`

There are config.ini and SQLite database in that mounted external azure filestorage. Everything worked well and configs was readable and SQLite too. Then I moved all (Container registry, Container Instance, Storageaccount fileshare) to another Resource Group. After that when I compose my build from VS Code (docker compose up) if fails:
Error response from daemon: create XXX: error looking up volume plugin azure_file: plugin "azure_file" not found.
Where do I can found that plugin?? I already updated azure cli to 2.37.0

The docker-compose file was excactly same. But after hours of debugging find that the docker contexct was wrong type.
Command "docker context ls" lists all contexts and types, descriptions etc. The context was typeof "moby" and it should be typeof "aci".

I don't know how to change that or what that means. But I recreated it and now it is typeof "aci" and it resolves the "missing azure_file" problem.

Another thing to note when listing all contexts is the "DESCRIPTION" column. It marks "resourcegroup@location".
