# Fail to start convergence server

[Getting Started](https://convergence.io/quickstart/)  
I'm trying to launch the convergence server but it fails.
Do you know what is the cause?

## Environment
### Docker
```
[root@ip-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx yyyyy]$ docker version
Client version: 1.7.1
Client API version: 1.19
Go version (client): go1.4.2
Git commit (client): 786b29d
OS/Arch (client): linux/amd64
Server version: 1.7.1
Server API version: 1.19
Go version (server): go1.4.2
Git commit (server): 786b29d
OS/Arch (server): linux/amd64
```

### OS
```
[root@ip-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx yyyyy]$ cat /etc/system-release
Amazon Linux AMI release 2018.03
```
This is ec2 instance on AWS.

## Operation

` $ docker run -p "8000:80" --name convergence convergencelabs/convergence-de `

Although the login screen is displayed, it seems that creation of DB has failed and login is not possible.  
  
Could you tell me how to fix it?

## By the way
But succeeds on a local machine with similar environment.
