As the message states (FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host
"172.17.0.2", user "cemtore", database "cemtore", SSL off) you have to
edit pg_hba.conf of the PostgreSQL Cluster hosting the cemtore database

to allow connections from pgwatch to it as your current config doesn't
allow that. Also you may need the connecting user within your database
with the required rights (if not added yet).
