Openbox not launching / no error shown

[rix1337]

Trying to use any of the alpine / ubuntu base images I am met with this issue in the start sequence:

2023-12-17 17:57:44 [nginx       ] Listening for HTTP connections on port 5800.

2023-12-17 17:57:55 [finish      ] all container finish scripts executed.

Apparently open box is not starting within a given timeframe. I have not found a way to either produce valuable log output (even the container DEBUG variable would not help), or to increase the 5 second limit.

Wit this, the base image is sadly unusable for me.

Any ideas what could cause this?

How do you run the image ? Do you see this problem with the "stock" image ? E.g. by running docker run --rm jlesage/baseimage-gui:alpine-3.18-v4 ?
