This pull request adds an optional healthcheck endpoint, useful for environments such as Kubernetes where readiness needs to be probed and monitored.

Four new environment variables are introduced:

  • SERVER_HEALTHCHECK_ENABLED - optionally enable a static healthcheck endpoint by setting SERVER_HEALTHCHECK_ENABLED=1
    • useful for deploying to Kubernetes or similar infrastructure where readiness needs to be confirmed and monitored
    • disabled by default
  • SERVER_HEALTHCHECK_PATH - optionally override the location of the healthcheck endpoint
    • defaults to /healthcheck
  • SERVER_HEALTHCHECK_RESPONSE_CODE - optionally override the status code of the healthcheck endpoint response
    • defaults to 200
  • SERVER_HEALTHCHECK_RESPONSE_BODY - optionally override the body of the healthcheck endpoint response
    • defaults to alive

If SERVER_HEALTHCHECK_ENABLED=1 then /etc/nginx/includes/healthcheck.conf is included into default.conf.

In order for location matching against /${SERVER_HEALTHCHECK_PATH} it was necessary to wrap existing redirects in

location / {
    ...
    # Existing redirect directives
    ...
}

Finally this pull request tidies up run.sh by declaring default ENV values at build time in the Dockerfile.

Define default environment variables at build time instead of checking and overriding in run.sh.

I haven't added all new environment variables to this file to avoid cluttering it.

No longer required as defaults are set at buildtime then overridden at runtime
