Try fake migrate to zero.

Your migration history shows that sessions table was already made, but you don’t have real table.

so following below

python manage.py migrate --fake sessions zero
# then your sessions migrate will be
python manage.py showmigrations
sessions
 [ ] 0001_initial
# then migrate with --fake-initial again
python manage.py migrate --fake-initial

Then try again.

I’m using django-v-3

Here is the answer how to solve this issue?

1. python manage.py migrate –fake

2. python manage.py migrate –fake-initial

3. Then write python manage.py runserver

Enjoy

If facing issue use python manage.py help. I hope that you will get the solution.

Since you were using sqlite and changed to Postgres, your user and password no longer work and you got that error. Depending on what is your docker-compose.yml file you can do a migrate command:
docker-compose exec web python manage.py migrate
and than create a new superuser:
docker-compose exec web python manage.py createsuperuser
Now your app should work.
