I'm sorry, but I only know a solution with node-inspector, I hope it can help you:

• You can install node-inspector package inside your container: https://github.com/node-inspector/node-inspector
• Map the port 8080 of your container on your host (run you container with parameter -p 8080:8080)

• Run this inside your container (with docker exec, or docker-enter)

  node-debug --web-host 0.0.0.0 yourScript.js

• Go to http://localhost:8080/debug?port=5858
