1 Application error The application crashed due to an uncaught exception, incorrect image reference, or other issue.
125 Container failed to run error The docker run command failed to execute properly. Often caused by misconfigured images or permissions issues.

127 File or directory not found A specified file or directory does not exist inside the container.

134 Abnormal termination (SIGABRT) The container aborted itself using the abort() function, often due to an unrecoverable application error.
137 Immediate termination (SIGKILL) The container was forcefully killed (e.g., out-of-memory errors, manual termination, readiness probes or system-level constraints).
139 Segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) The application tried to access memory it wasn’t assigned, causing a segmentation fault.
143 Graceful termination (SIGTERM) The container received a termination signal and shut down gracefully.
255 Exit status out of range The container exited with a code outside the valid range, meaning the cause of failure is unknown.
