It's kind of hard to diagnose compost issues from "afar". Also, I have zero experience composting in a container. Without being able to see, feel, or smell your composting process. . . I'll say that in my piles and sheet composting, I try to maintain an equal ratio of "brown and dry" to "wet and green", the latter could also include "moldy". The moldy food will make fine soil, but it needs some other stuff like shredded dried leaves, shredded paper, cardboard, etc. I generally feel that the more diverse the stuff going into the pile, the better the end result compost.
