Under the hood it's trying to connect with the original database that have contributors data, as your local database has no contributors data this not found page is thrown. To fix that you can create a contributors folder in the root of the directory and add some contribution, make sure the file name matches your github username. And ensure to put frontmatter as following

---
author: Aadarsh Thakur
github_username: Aadarsh805
occupation: <your occupation>
---
<write your markdown content>

But first you need to add environment variables as mentioned..

MONGO_URI:
GITHUB_TOKEN:
