I just solved it by adding "tty: true" and "stdin_open: true" to my docker-compose.yml. "spheresvr" seems to need a tty, so that's the solution. In the end I came up with this working version:

Ohh... That makes perfect sense! Totally forgot that spheresrv expects user inputs after boot. Which made take a look at the Helm chart I was using at the time and the tty flag is indeed enabled for that container!
