OK, new complicating factor. If I spin up a container that I can 
interact with (I.e. running a shell) then running cgit.cgi directly 
shows my repositories. If I spin up a non-interactive container (I.e. 
running in the background) then I see no repositories. The only 
difference between these environments should be the lack of an attached 
stdin/stdout.

So is there any way to redirect CGI errors to the Apache error log? I 
have the following in my configuration:

   LogLevel info
   CustomLog |cat combined

My assumption is that this will redirect all relevant logs to stdout so 
they are visible in the "docker logs" command. But I only see server 
accesses, no CGI errors.

Thanks.
