VSCode debugger help

So I need some help with setting up a debugger. I have a dockercompose which runs like 7 docker containers. for the mian container which runs the server.ts the debugger works. If I use the same approac to create another debugger for another service which is like src/exports/exports.ts and make a debugger and launch.json for it, it can't connect I get the error no debugger found or something like that. When I try to curl ocalhost:<port> I get empty response is it a problem because the export.ts is not a server but just a Script that runs on the container? is there something I can do to make the debugger work? this is my launch.json

{
      "name": "Docker: Attach to App",
      "type": "node",
      "request": "attach",
      "port": 9229,
      "address": "localhost",
      "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/src/exports",
      "remoteRoot": "/app/src/exports",
      "protocol": "inspector"
   }

{
      "name": "Docker: Attach to App",
      "type": "node",
      "request": "attach",
      "port": 9229,
      "address": "localhost",
      "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/src/exports",
      "remoteRoot": "/app/src/exports",
      "protocol": "inspector"
   }
