Hello everyone,

I installed the awx for poc was able to get it up and running. I removed it because I wanted to test something on the machine.  
Now I am unable to install it again on the machine. Below is the error. The error states that postgres is unable to start due to  
the use of a deprecated API but I am unable to debug which API is it talking about. Any idea on the same.

The task which fails: “Activate postgres container”

Looks like your Docker might be out of date? Try updating and see if that helps.

Yes, I think that was a problem also Updated the dockerpy module just to be sure.
