Configure your health check parameters using the form above and click "Generate Health Check" to create the appropriate configuration for your chosen format (Dockerfile, Docker Compose, or Kubernetes).
Why Container Health Checks Are Essential
Health checks enable container orchestrators to monitor application health and automatically restart unhealthy containers, ensuring better reliability and uptime for your applications.
Supported Configuration Formats
This tool generates health check configurations for:
- Dockerfile HEALTHCHECK instructions for building health-aware images
- Docker Compose service health check configurations
- Kubernetes liveness and readiness probe configurations
Best Practices for Health Checks
Implement lightweight health check endpoints that verify critical dependencies. Set appropriate timeouts and intervals to balance responsiveness with resource usage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What's the difference between liveness and readiness probes?
Liveness probes determine if a container should be restarted, while readiness probes determine if a container is ready to receive traffic.
Q. How do I choose the right interval and timeout values?
Start with 30-second intervals and 10-second timeouts. Adjust based on your application's startup time and response characteristics.
Q. Can I use health checks with any container?
Yes, but your application needs to provide a health check endpoint or command that can reliably indicate its health status.
Q. What happens when a health check fails?
After the specified number of retries, the container orchestrator will restart the container (liveness) or stop sending traffic (readiness).
