got the same problem, docker-compose build not working from docker hub I miss the correct parameters to run it

In settings.py, I replaced the caches with

'research_preview': {
        'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.dummy.DummyCache'
    },

However, I still had some build issues. Tried replacing the dropbox requirement with dropbox==11.36.0. Got some SSL error.
