Docker Compose: omitting directory /config/certs.yml, ERROR: no configuration file found

I am trying to use Docker Desktop to run this tutorial to install wazuh in a docker container (single-node deployment). I make a new container in the docker desktop and then try to run the docker compose command in vscode but get the error mentioned in the title. I have tried to change the project directory but it always points to the root directory by /config/certs.yml. my command is

docker-compose --project-directory /com.docker.devenvironments.code/single-node --file /com.docker.devenvironments.code/single-node/generate-indexer-certs.yml run --rm generator

my directory structure is as follows:

where certs.yml is in the config folder, but upon running this command the error always points to the root folder, which is not my project folder. The only folder i want to run this from is the com.docker.devenvironments.code folder, or somehow change where the command finds the certs.yml file. I have also tried cd into different folders and trying to run the command, but get the same error.

Thank you very much in advance for your help!
