The container never starts up . I am stuck with v5.1.0-pre1, Seeing similar error during every release after 5.1

Any suggestions are welcome.

Grafana runs database migrations and provisioning on startup which adds new tables or updates to tables. I presume you are using Sqlite so the grafana.db file needs to be readable. How are you handling persistent storage for the data for your Grafana docker image?
