**Describe the problem**  
I am attempting to install LibreTime via Docker. I get to the step to set up the database (docker-compose run --rm api libretime-api migrate) and get an error.

**Expected behavior**  
I expected the docker command to run with no errors.

**Relevant log output or error messages**

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
