\*\*AWX 23.6 install fails when using docker-compose \*\*.  
Hello Team  
I am trying to install AWX 23.6, 22.0 and few other using docker-compose tools  
My Env

- Docker version 20.10.25
- docker-compose version 1.29.2
- ansible [core 2.15.9]
- python3.9
- EC2 AL2

```auto
make docker-compose-build > Creates the image 
docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
ghcr.io/ansible/awx_devel HEAD 07de86ce04b4 26 minutes ago 1.82GB

```

But  
make docker-compose  
Keeps running without stopping and i see the following error in the logs

```auto

```

Can you please let me know how to fix this or suggest a stable version for which docker-compose installation works.

NOTE: K8S installation is not an option for me.

Thanks in advance
