/usr/src/app/bin/wait-for-it.js:3 dies on docker start, out of retries

[ctrldotnet]

On a clean minimal CentOS 7 image with no selinux/firewalls, and only docker/docker-compose/git+essentials installed, the following error is thrown when doing docker-compose up

This happens with the default docker-compose.yml

servicebot_1 | /usr/src/app/bin/wait-for-it.js:3
servicebot_1 | if (err) throw new Error(err);
servicebot_1 | ^
servicebot_1 |

Would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me why it dies :-) The database docker img launches fine.
