[erlang-questions] Not getting exit_status when using open_port with docker

[Maxim Sokhatsky]

First of all you do it wrong just because of two things :)

The first thing is erlsh library: https://github.com/proger/erlsh
And the second is erldocker library: https://github.com/proger/erldocker

Moreover if you are interesting in your own Erlang PaaS
you could read the sources of the first Erlang PaaS:

https://github.com/voxoz

Hope this save your time :)
