Add Healthcheck to Docker Image

[c64bob]

Problem

Currently the Docker Image does not provide a health check.

Solution

Add health check to the Docker Image. For this it is probably necessary to add a curl binary to the image.

You can easily create your own derived docker image, which can then contain curl or whatever you need to do that health check.

Thanks for your response. Just to confirm, are you not planning to include a health check in the official image? It seems like a good fit with Docker best practices.

[wolfgangwalther]

Correct, there are no plans right now to extend the official docker image beyond the single static binary. In fact it's the other way around - we are working towards providing our releases for more platforms as single static binaries.
