How can I attach a debugger to a running ktor application that I'm running using the runDocker Gradle task? I know this is trivial to do with IntelliJ if you have a Dockerfile...I think...but not sure how this works when using runDocker

Have you tried running a "Remote JVM Debug" configuration?

[Levi]

I was looking for that under Run/Debug configurations, but couldn't find it.

[Levi]

Should I be looking elsewhere?

Do you have the IDEA Ultimate edition?

[Levi]

You bet!

While I have you @Aleksei Tirman [JB] Do you know if it's possible to have environment variables passed to Gradle? In my Run Configuration I have added some env vars, but System.getenv in my build.gradle.kts still returns null, which makes me think IntelliJ doesn't pass env vars to Gradle.

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

It's possible, but if you use a Run configuration of type Kotlin, the configured env variables are passed only to the java command, not Gradle.
