Experiencing 504 timeout with no way to access to freescout

[altdsoy]

Summary

We have a docker instance of Freescout that was running just fine and now all of a sudden we are getting 504 Timeout errors.
Restarting the docker compose stack do not solve the issue.

The logs in the container side does not show anything useful:

Container log:

And unfortunately it's the same on Freescout side. Her are the only non empty logs I have:

### Steps to reproduce

It happened all of a sudden.

Earlier today it was just working fine.

Environment

I have the server behind Traefik.

And tried restarting Traefik as well.

No errors in Traefik.

Possible fixes

I have no clue.

What can I look inside the container besides the log files that's also mostly empty?

I remember having something equivalent a few weeks back but it was an issue on my docker compose configuration as I did somehow enabled all of the volumes. Now I only have 2.

It's really annoying to not have any clue about what's going on.
Any help is much appreciated as I'm getting tired of IT as well :)
