Thank you so much for your detailed answer. That brought me up to speed. I just never questioned it and, as you said, assumed that it was to test network connectivity.

It also finally explains the issues with those containers I kept having every few months. It always fixed itself before I had the time to actually look into it, but it has always been bugging me. This time I was able to actually catch it.

I’ll update the health checks to the proper URL im using, or should I use localhost:port?

Anyway, thanks again!

I honestly didn’t know this was the case. Still learning on this journey of self hosting. What exactly do I use for the health check then?
