Thanks for the quick response. Yeah I figured it was that, I think I'll just start the process again as a different user. Btw, if you need someone to help with updating the docs with this info, let me know. Here's the Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.10-slim as python-base
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 \
    PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 \

EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["./misc/docker_start.sh"]

I've been trying to follow the directions here and have ran into some issues once I actually get to running the docker container. After running docker compose up -d, it all immediately crashes with the following logs (found via docker logs microblogpub):

I'm running on Debian 11 as root. I followed the advice in ticket #7 when configuring as root which I imagine might be related to these issues.
