Problem description
Healthchecks are a powerful feature, but the documentation is currently sparse. There is some basic information on its usage in the builder documentation
, and the flags are included in the docker container run
and docker service create
command line reference, but no practical examples are included in the documentation.
Suggestions for a fix
Docker 17.05 and up adds additional options for health checks (start period), and I wrote a comment on that pull request to illustrate the functionality which may be useful as a starting point moby/moby#28938 (comment), moby/moby#35881 (comment), and I saw @tomwillfixit has a demo repository to show health checks (https://github.com/tomwillfixit/healthcheck).
Those examples are very basic, but can be useful in itself (possibly we may want to add a "real" example as well).
