docker ps | grep ckan
docker-compose logs -f ckan

Access to your site_url domain or IP.

http://{site_url_domain or IP}:5000

If you are using ip address instead of Domain, you have to write down your site IP to production.ini in ckan container. 

docker exec -it ckan /bin/bash
ckan@67f980bc1970:/$ vi /etc/ckan/production.ini

write down your site ip to ckan.site_url.
