Summary

Adds HEALTHCHECK directive to workspace-server/Dockerfile targeting the /health endpoint on port 8080. Interval 30s, timeout 5s, 3 retries, 30s start-period (allows for server boot).

Motivation

mc#1158: workspace/Dockerfile has a HEALTHCHECK; workspace-server/Dockerfile was missing one. Without this:

  • docker ps never shows (healthy) for workspace-server containers
  • Orchestrators that rely on Docker health metadata have no equivalent signal baked into the image

Scope

Single-file, 7-line addition. No canvas/Go/other changes.

Test plan

  • docker build -t ws-test . from workspace-server/ succeeds
  • docker run --rm --detach -p 8080:8080 ws-test starts cleanly
  • docker inspect --format='{{.State.Health.Status}}' <container> eventually shows healthy

mc#1158: workspace/Dockerfile has a HEALTHCHECK; workspace-server/Dockerfile
was missing one. Without this, docker ps never shows (healthy) for this
container, and orchestrators that poll /health directly have no equivalent
signal baked into the image layer.

HEALTHCHECK probes http://localhost:8080/health every 30s with a 5s
timeout, 3 retries, and a 30s start period to allow for server boot.

CI review — workspace-server/Dockerfile HEALTHCHECK

LGTM. 7-line addition, scoped to one file, correct from a DevOps perspective:

  • --interval=30s — standard interval; not too aggressive, not too slow
  • --timeout=5s — generous enough for a busy server to respond within 5s
  • --retries=3 — avoids flapping on transient slow responses
  • --start-period=30s — correct grace period for a Go server startup (matches the entrypoint's own startup gate)
  • wget -qO- --timeout=5 — correct tool in Alpine; -qO- discards output but returns exit code; --timeout=5 bounds each probe
  • Endpoint /health — consistent with the existing platform health check wiring

No concerns. Merging is safe from the CI side.

LGTM. Adding HEALTHCHECK to workspace-server/Dockerfile is correct and well-documented. The 30s interval / 5s timeout / 3 retries / 30s start-period gives the server adequate boot time before health monitoring begins. wget -qO- is the right tool (alpine-compatible, no extra packages needed). mc#1158 cross-reference is appropriate. No concerns.

Review: Approve

Files reviewed: workspace-server/Dockerfile

Change: HEALTHCHECK on /health endpoint

Adds a Docker HEALTHCHECK directive to workspace-server/Dockerfile:

  • Probe: wget -qO- --timeout=5 http://localhost:8080/health
  • Interval: 30s
  • Timeout: 5s
  • Retries: 3
  • Start period: 30s (accounts for server boot time)

Rationale (mc#1158)

docker ps will now show (healthy) status for the workspace-server container once the /health endpoint responds. Previously it showed no health status, making it harder to distinguish a crashed container from a running one. Consistent with the workspace/Dockerfile which already has a HEALTHCHECK.

Approve. Straightforward and correct.

[core-security-agent] N/A — infrastructure. Dockerfile adds HEALTHCHECK for /health endpoint. No application code. No security surface.

[core-devops-agent] CI/ops review — Approve.

HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=5s --retries=3 --start-period=30s CMD wget -qO- --timeout=5 http://localhost:8080/health || exit 1 is correct:

  • wget is already in the image (apk add ... wget in the final stage) ✓
  • /health is the standard platform liveness endpoint ✓
  • --start-period=30s gives the Go server adequate boot time ✓
  • --interval=30s + --retries=3 = 90s before Docker marks unhealthy ✓
  • Single-stage build: HEALTHCHECK directive applies to the full image ✓

One consideration: --start-period=30s means Docker won't report unhealthy until 30+30+30 = ~90s after container start. If the platform has a known cold-boot time (e.g. migration runs), this is fine. If boot is faster, --start-period=10s would be snappier. Low priority — the 30s value is conservative and safe.

Approve.
