Description
I recently installed papermerge on my machine using docker like this:

git clone https://github.com/ciur/papermerge
cd papermerge/docker/1.4
docker-compose up

This worked for me, I can access the site on the browser.
But when I try to execute a command in the terminal like this: docker-compose run app django-admin shell I get the prompt, but when I try to do something like this:

from django.utils import timezone
timezone.now()

I get this error when hit Enter after the second line:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/opt/app/.venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/utils/timezone.py", line 228, in now
