I deploy a FastAPI service with docker (see my docker-compose.yml and app).

My service directory gets filled with files index.html, index.html.1, index.html.2,… that all contain

They seem to be generated any time the docker healthcheck pings the service.

How can I get rid of these?

PS: I had to put a screenshot, because Lemmy stripped my HTML in the code quote.

    Ok, that was stupid. Doing healthcheck with wget, does what wget does: it downloads the result. I had to add --spider to stop doing that

      wget -nv --spider http://localhost:8000 || exit 1

        To me it depends on the base image. Some don’t have curl, but have wget. I would go with the flow instead of installing it myself. Especially if I can get away with not having to add more layers for an image of my own and/or using the same command for all containers
