About Debugging Docker Containers

Docker containers stop running, if any errors happen. So you cannot SSH to them and inspect what is wrong.

To keep a gunicorn container running, so that you could check its file structure and permissions, you can temporarily add the following into the docker-compose.yml instead of the line that runs gunicorn server:

  command: bash -c "while :; do :; done & kill -STOP $$! && wait $$!"
