When I start my apollo federated gateway docker container i get the following errors:

 > @ start /code
 > node index

I see other people have successfully gotten apollo federation working with Dgraph’s GraphQL endpoint…can anyone point me towards what i might be doing wrong?

Dgraph version 21.03.1
Apollo Gateway (image: graphql/gateway:latest)

It appears the docker image I was using has an outdated version of the gateway…a better approach if using docker is to build your own container
