Health check

imgproxy comes with a built-in health check HTTP endpoint at /health.

GET /health returns an HTTP Status of 200 OK if the server has been successfully started.

You can use this for readiness/liveness probes when deploying with a container orchestration system such as Kubernetes.

imgproxy health

imgproxy provides an imgproxy health command that makes an HTTP request to the health endpoint based on the IMGPROXY_BIND and IMGPROXY_NETWORK configs. It exits with 0 when the request is successful and with 1 otherwise. The command is handy to use with Docker Compose:

healthcheck:
  test: [ "CMD", "imgproxy", "health" ]
  timeout: "10s"
  interval: "10s"
  retries: 3
