Ngnix Django 502 Bad Gateway – Debian

I deployed a django app using CI/CD from gitlab. The app is wrapped in a docker container and uses Nginx server. The deployment is successful from git but I get the error when I visit the IP.

502 Bad Gateway
nginx/1.17.4

I checked the log of the app’s container and it outputs

no destination
no destination
no destination

Also, that of the Nginx container outputs

For some additional context, I will post the content of some of my files
