I've recently discovered this tutorial to easily migrate any Wordpress site to AWS. However, when going through the migration process, it simply gets stuck in the "Prepare Database" step, with Fatal Error:

I'm testing with a locally deployed Wordpress site through Docker Compose. I've made sure I'm good with all the different required versions for Wordress, DB engine, etc, and still get the same error.

I've also tried turning the debug mode on, but I didn't get any relevant information.

I've raised a ticket to SeaHorse, the AWS partner that develops this WP on AWS plugin and they've confirmed that it doesn't work with Docker. Here is what they said:

Thank you for your interest in our service. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. At this moment, our plugin does not support the docket environment, and, as such, it will not function properly for your needs.
