A large planet in the habitable zone of a red dwarf can be docked and always show the same face to the sun. Due to the frequent solar flares of a red dwarf, this part of the planet is devastated, but not necessarily the dark side. Apart from this, a red dwarf is quite violent in its first part of life, but not so much after a certain age, which in this type of suns is billon years more than in suns like ours or larger. Basic life can exist almost everywhere as shown. This is why it can never be ruled out that life exists on this planet, if there are indications of life even on Venus in high layers of its atmosphere.

Another thing is if we talk about advanced or even technological life, this already requires much more limited margins of conditions. For example, advanced technology requires fire domination as a basis, therefore it excludes oxygen-free environments and aquatic worlds, but even there can exist intelligent life (even on Earth sometimes).
