Running local Chainlink Node with Docker - Error: invalid compose project-CodePudding

I am trying to run a local Chainlink Node with Docker on my Windows laptop. I use a "Code Along" tutorial on Youtube as foundation but also have tried other sources to get around my problem. Since I have no experience with Docker yet, I am struggling to configure the docker compose file for the chainlink node when I try to use the command "docker compose up". It is possible that my mistake is really easy to spot since I am a beginnner in this... But I fail to figure it out by myself...

Docker compose file:

services:
  pg_chainlink:
    image: "postgres"
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    env_file:
      - database.env
    volumes:
      - \Users\Jacob\Desktop\Bachelorarbeit\Chainlink-Node\chainlink-goerli\data:\var\lib\postgressql\data\
  chainlink:
    image: "smartcontract/chainlink:1.3.0"
    env_file:
      - .env
    depends_on:
      - pg_chainlink  
    ports:
      - "6688:6688"
    volumes:
      - \Users\Jacob\Desktop\Bachelorarbeit\Chainlink-Node\chainlink-goerli\chainlink-volume:\chainlink\
    command: node start --password \chainlink\password.txt --api \chainlink\apicredentials.txt

The Error :

PS C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\Bachelorarbeit\Chainlink-Node\chainlink-goerli> docker compose up
service "pg_chainlink" refers to undefined volume \Users\Jacob\Desktop\Bachelorarbeit\Chainlink-Node\chainlink-goerli\data: invalid compose projectPS 
C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\Bachelorarbeit\Chainlink-Node\chainlink-goerli> docker compose up
service "chainlink" refers to undefined volume \Users\Jacob\Desktop\Bachelorarbeit\Chainlink-Node\chainlink-goerli\chainlink-volume: invalid compose project

Either one of the two appears ("pg_chainlink" or "chainlink")

I suspected the slash symbols in my path to be the problem but I tried also the forward slash in many different ways. However, the usage of the double dots to map a path to the volume is also really unfamiliar and weird to me.

This works for me on WSL2 utilizing docker on Win10.

When running locally both the postgreSQL DB chainlink container, you need to specify:

network_mode: "host".
