Are django-CMS and cookiecutter-django incompatible?

I just tried to port my Django-CMS project into Django Cookiecutter (cookiecutter-django) in order to get it to run in Docker.

It seems Django-CMS is using the default Django user model and Cookie-Cutter is using a custom model (from allauth?).

I found this https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django/pull/248 thread which suggests changing the order in which the apps are loaded but that doesn't cut the mustard.

Are Django-CMS and Cookiecutter at odds with each other?

ADDITION: Running Django 2.2.7 and django-cms 3.7.2

EDIT: The error message/traceback when I run 

$ docker-compose -f local.yml up

So I kept fiddling with the order that the apps are loaded in but to no avail.

It turns out, the two are compatible. I tried the latest version of the djangocms-installer and manually merged that with the latest cookiecutter-django base.

In the cookiecutter-django's base.py (settings)

...

LOCAL_APPS = [
    "mysite.users.apps.UsersConfig",
]

DJANGO_CMS_APPS = [
    "cms",
    "menus",
    "sekizai",
    "treebeard",
    "djangocms_text_ckeditor",
    "filer",
    "easy_thumbnails",
    "djangocms_bootstrap4",
    "djangocms_bootstrap4.contrib.bootstrap4_alerts",
    "djangocms_bootstrap4.contrib.bootstrap4_badge",
    "djangocms_bootstrap4.contrib.bootstrap4_card",
    "djangocms_bootstrap4.contrib.bootstrap4_carousel",
    "djangocms_bootstrap4.contrib.bootstrap4_collapse",
    "djangocms_bootstrap4.contrib.bootstrap4_content",
    "djangocms_bootstrap4.contrib.bootstrap4_grid",
    "djangocms_bootstrap4.contrib.bootstrap4_jumbotron",
    "djangocms_bootstrap4.contrib.bootstrap4_link",
    "djangocms_bootstrap4.contrib.bootstrap4_listgroup",
    "djangocms_bootstrap4.contrib.bootstrap4_media",
    "djangocms_bootstrap4.contrib.bootstrap4_picture",
    "djangocms_bootstrap4.contrib.bootstrap4_tabs",
    "djangocms_bootstrap4.contrib.bootstrap4_utilities",
    "djangocms_file",
    "djangocms_icon",
    "djangocms_link",
    "djangocms_picture",
    "djangocms_style",
    "djangocms_snippet",
    "djangocms_googlemap",
    "djangocms_video",
    "mysite",
]

INSTALLED_APPS = DJANGO_APPS + THIRD_PARTY_APPS + LOCAL_APPS + DJANGO_CMS_APPS

I created another stack for Django-CMS apps. The order of the installed apps is important. So LOCAL_APPS has to be loaded BEFORE the DJANGO_CMS_APPS.

I tried the same in previous versions and still have no idea why it failed there. Hope this helps somehow.
