Docker container fails

Posted on February 4, 2022

I have deployed a docker image to a basic droplet (4GB RAM). When I run the image (docker run …) it starts up and then within a minute or so it fails. This is a streamlit app. Any ideas as to why this is failing?

Hello,

I would recommend checking your Docker container logs for some more information.

You could do that with the following commands:

  • First get the container ID:
docker ps -a
  • Then check the logs:
docker logs container_id_here

The logs should give you more information on why the container is crashing.

For more information on how to troubleshoot common Docker issues, I could also suggest the following chapter from this open-source Docker ebook:

# Docker Troubleshooting and Debugging

Feel free to share the logs here in case you have any questions!

Best,

Bobby
