fix: replace wget with node-based healthcheck in docker-compose - #13
Merged
Merged
Conversation
The node:20-bookworm-slim image used in our Dockerfile contains neither wget nor curl, causing Docker healthchecks to always fail with 'executable file not found in '. This made Docker mark the strapi container as 'unhealthy' even though it was serving correctly, which in turn caused Nginx/Cloudflare to return 502 Bad Gateway.
