Exit codes

How to troubleshoot exit codes

Exit codes give you information about terminated containers, specifying why the container terminated. In general, a 0 exit code is successful and indicates a purposefully stopped container, while a 1 exit code indicates an error. Other exit codes (larger than 1) also indicate an error state, and contain more information about what kind of error occurred.
