healthcheck not works

[Srobin2020S]

If use in docker-compose
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD", "/usr/local/sbin/healthcheck"]
interval: 5m
timeout: 10s
retries: 3
start_period: 5m

and container always starting

Fix: need change to http protocol in line:
url=http://localhost/-/liveness

Have you tried to set the start_period to be a bit longer ? I faced the same issue when i set the start_period too soon.
Got the health check to work when i changed the start_period to 15m

Hi,

The URL is fine.
Its automatically generated here:

docker-gitlab/assets/runtime/functions

Lines 1683 to 1698 in 32d0e27

	generate_healthcheck_script() {
	# configure healthcheck script
	## https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/admin_area/monitoring/health_check.html
	local HEALTHCHECK_PROTOCOL="http"
	if [[ "${GITLAB_HTTPS}" == true ]]; then
	HEALTHCHECK_PROTOCOL="${HEALTHCHECK_PROTOCOL}s"
	fi
	cat > /usr/local/sbin/healthcheck <<EOF
	#!/bin/bash
	url=${HEALTHCHECK_PROTOCOL}://localhost${GITLAB_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT}/-/liveness
	options=( '--insecure' '--location' '--silent' )
	curl "\${options[@]}" \$url
	[[ "\$(curl \${options[@]} -o /dev/null -I -w '%{http_code}' \$url)" == "200" ]]
	EOF
	chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/healthcheck
	}

It uses http (unless you set the gitlab_https to true) and uses the URL you meantioned:
url=${HEALTHCHECK_PROTOCOL}://localhost${GITLAB_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT}/-/liveness

There is nothing to fix here, check your logs why it doesn't respond with http 200 (thats the only thing the healthcheck does) after 20 minutes (5 min start + 3*5 min check).

Hi,
I changed GITLAB_HTTPS=false and have status "healthy"
