Let's try to make sure you run thru all the steps as outlined in docs.

1. First of all you need to edit your docker-compose-cli.yaml file the cli section to comment out line responsible to run automatic flow of channel creation and join:

   command: /bin/bash -c './scripts/script.sh ${CHANNEL_NAME}; sleep $TIMEOUT'
   

E.g.

# command: /bin/bash -c './scripts/script.sh ${CHANNEL_NAME}; sleep $TIMEOUT'

2. Next export channel name you are working with:

   export CHANNEL_NAME=mychannel

3. Start the network (use default timeout of 60s):

   CHANNEL_NAME=$CHANNEL_NAME docker-compose -f docker-compose-cli.yaml up -d

4. Enter the cli container:

   docker exec -it cli bash

5. Export environmental variables:

   export CHANNEL_NAME=mychannel

6. Create the channel:

   peer channel create -o orderer.example.com:7050 -c $CHANNEL_NAME -f ./channel-artifacts/channel.tx --tls $CORE_PEER_TLS_ENABLED --cafile /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/tlscacerts/tlsca.example.com-cert.pem
   

7. Join the channel:

   peer channel join -b mychannel.block
