Debug Output

Expected Behaviour

It would be nice to see an active container that doesn’t immediately quit.

Actual Behaviour

“Error: container exited immediately”

Steps to Reproduce

Use Mac OS; download the code. Create a docker image (probably vanilla ubuntu focal will be fine - but I haven’t logged in, and that might be a thing).

1. terraform apply -auto-approve

Important Factoids

Nothing remarkable.
