## Debugging headscale running in Docker
The `headscale/headscale` Docker container is based on a "distroless" image that does not contain a shell or any other debug tools. If you need to debug your application running in the Docker container, you can use the `-debug` variant, for example `headscale/headscale:x.x.x-debug`.
### Running the debug Docker container
To run the debug Docker container, use the exact same commands as above, but replace `headscale/headscale:x.x.x` with `headscale/headscale:x.x.x-debug` (`x.x.x` is the version of headscale). The two containers are compatible with each other, so you can alternate between them.
### Executing commands in the debug container
The default command in the debug container is to run `headscale`, which is located at `/bin/headscale` inside the container.
Additionally, the debug container includes a minimalist Busybox shell.
To launch a shell in the container, use:
```
docker run -it headscale/headscale:x.x.x-debug sh
```
You can also execute commands directly, such as `ls /bin` in this example:
```
docker run headscale/headscale:x.x.x-debug ls /bin
```
Using `docker exec` allows you to run commands in an existing container.
