Projects using 'gb.web.gui' are still CGI scripts, and so need a Web server.

What Christof told you is not to use 'gb.httpd' for production, only for 
debugging. So you must put in your Docker a reliable HTTP server 
(Apache, Nginx, lighttpd...) in front of your CGI 'gb.web.gui' application.

In the future, some library like 'libmicrohttpd' may allow to add an 
embedded http server to 'gb.web.gui' so that a Gambas web application 
executable becomes autonomous, not needing a full Web server to work.
