Do you get any error message in Docker's logs?

No, logs are not getting generated. It just stops after a few seconds. Snapshot attached.
We tried running the mockoon sample file on docker and it works fine. Sample file used: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mockoon/mock-samples/main/samples/generate-mock-data.json
The only difference between this file and ours is that this file has request created using mockoon templating feature and ours is created without templating, just plain json file.

Without error meessage it's hard to tell where the issue come from. Could you send me your mockoon env file so I can try to reproduce the issue? You can share it here, or by mail at support@mockoon.com?

Could you still check the logs with docker logs --tail=50 aeac16227d22?

A good news - we were able to find out what the issue was . we removed the host and port from the settings and it worked absolutely fine.

Now we are trying one step ahead. This mockoon file is place on a private gitlab folder directory. We were trying to run the file directly from gitlab on docker using the command : docker run -d -p 3000:3000 mockoon/cli:latest -d https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mockoon/mock-samples/main/samples/generate-mock-data.json -p 3000

But this is not working might be because the gitlab structure is private. We have the gitlab access token to access the file but not sure hot to use it in the above command. Could you please help us out with this issue ?

Glad you found the issue. When you dockerize the mock you have to make sure that it will listen to the right host/port that is exposed by Docker.

Concerning Gitlab authentication, it's a bit out of the scope of what Mockoon does.
But it should be possible by using this API endpoint authenticated with a personal access token.

We were able to run mockoon via Docker. Thanks
