+To debug tests running in a docker container, you can use `gdbserver`:
+
+```shell
+docker build --build-arg PHP_VERSION=8.2.11 -f docker/Dockerfile.debian . -t otel:8.2.11
+docker run --rm -it -p "2345:2345" -v $(pwd)/ext:/usr/src/myapp otel:8.2.11 bash
+```
+
+Then, inside the container:
+
+```shell
+phpize
+./configure
+make
+gdbserver :2345 php -d extension=$(pwd)/modules/opentelemetry.so /path/to/file.php
+```
+
+Now, gdbserver should be running and awaiting a connection. Configure your IDE to connect via
+`gdb` to `127.0.0.1:2345` and start debugging, which should connect to the waiting server
+and start execution.

 This is a PHP extension for OpenTelemetry, to enable auto-instrumentation.
 It is based on [zend_observer](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/engineering/php-8-observability-baked-right-in/) and requires php8+
 
-The extension allows creating `pre` and `post` hook functions to arbitrary PHP functions and methods, which allows those methods to be wrapped with telemetry.
