Health Check feature

[jrichardsz]

Current Behavior

There is not a provided health check to be used with docker compose

Desired Behavior

Any strategy to perform a simple health check to know when the container is healthy and ready to work

Workaround

I created another image in which I installed

apt-get update && apt-get install -y netcat

The this health check can be used

    healthcheck: 
        test: nc 127.0.0.1 22 -z
        interval: 1s
        retries: 30   

Idea

If you can provide a simple http port like

/health

It would not be required the netcat installation
