I have 3 VMs and configured according to : [Building Private IPFS Network with IPFS-Cluster for Data Replication](https://labs.eleks.com/2019/03/ipfs-network-data-replication.html).

When I run IPFS daemon on Node 0.  
It gives me the following error.  
Initializing daemon…  
go-ipfs version: 0.12.2  
Repo version: 12  
System version: amd64/linux  
Golang version: go1.16.15

What can be the error?  
Can anyone help me here?
