How are you running VectorAdmin?

Docker (remote machine)

What happened?

Try to install vector-admin on an EC2 instance using the Build docker image from source docs. I also followed the instruction form the Common questions and fixes part.

But vector-admin can't connect to the postgres db:

}

Also tried various combinations of different ports, using localhost, etc. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

Are there known steps to reproduce?
