Unable to run vscode's debugger with dockerized django project

[xsevy]

Every time when I run a debugger there happen many things but not what I expect.

I'm running a project with docker-compose up

Checking the localhost if backend backend is okay. It's down. What's funny the container is running because I'm attached to this with vscode's remote containers.

The debugpy library is installed.

The first approach to run a debugger end with such info in debug console:

Attached!
System check identified some issues:

WARNINGS:
workflow.State.additional_values: (fields.W904) django.contrib.postgres.fields.JSONField is deprecated. Support for it (except in historical migrations) will be removed in Django 4.0.
    HINT: Use django.db.models.JSONField instead.
Operations to perform:
  Apply all migrations: accounts, auth, contenttypes, files, mambu, otp_totp, sessions, token_blacklist, workflow, zoho
Running migrations:
  No migrations to apply.

and it's down. Backend is also down.

Second try:

Attached!
System check identified some issues:

WARNINGS:
workflow.State.additional_values: (fields.W904) django.contrib.postgres.fields.JSONField is deprecated. Support for it (except in historical migrations) will be removed in Django 4.0.
    HINT: Use django.db.models.JSONField instead.
Zoho Configuration failed, check that you have all variables ZOHO_TOKEN_URL, ZOHO_REST_API_KEY, ZOHO_CURRENT_USER_EMAIL

and it's down but backend is up - I'm able to login etc.

The third try ends with such an error connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5678.

Any tips?

Code:

manage.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""Django's command-line utility for administrative tasks."""
import os
import sys

def initialize_debugger():
    import debugpy

    debugpy.listen(("0.0.0.0", 5678))
    debugpy.wait_for_client()
    print('Attached!')

def main():
    os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "xxx.settings")
    try:
        from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
    except ImportError as exc:
        raise ImportError(
            "Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and "
            "available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you "
            "forget to activate a virtual environment?"
        ) from exc
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    initialize_debugger()
    main()

Can you clarify what the differences are wrt running the same with no debugger in the picture?
