Feature Proposal: Opt-in support for HEALTHCHECK option

Author: bhurlowCreated Nov 24, 2017Updated Nov 26, 2025

Hello!

I've been using nginx-proxy with some great results for over a year, nice job. Docker now supports the healthcheck option which, at least for my use case, is a better indication of whether a container should be receiving proxied traffic. I'm wondering if the health status could be considered by nginx-proxy along side the regular container lifecycle.

Anyone else looking for this? Thanks!
