what-healthcheck 
Unopinionated list of self-hosted applications health checks.
What is this?
A (growing) list of healthchecks for self-hosted software, so it can help set up faster health observability of said applications.
The list can be used to add uptime check to tools like Traefik / UptimeKuma / Gatus / etc. or even for internal container healtchecks (useful to see if a broken config was generated and the app is not starting anymore or post auto-container updates).
Why is this?
While trying to migrate to a different health monitoring system, I realized a lot of health endpoints are either not-available or not listed and hidden into the code outside any documentation and usually available post a raised issue or PR.
Simply monitoring the base target (ex: /), although it works just fine, might not the best option if more services are piling up and create a lot of internal traffic and resource processing to serve the main page.
How to add new entries
Fields descriptions:
- Name - official application name, to identify and search them easier. could be more listed if spelling alternatives exists.
- Repository (mandatory) - needs to be a hyperlink of the source code (stripping
https://for anchor) and/or official website. multiple entries can be added for listing active forks (if forks are too different they should be split in a separate entry) - Version (mandatory) - should list a minimum confirmed version the health endpoint works. can also be a range ex:
2.3.0-4.7.0or>2.3.0format, for different updated health endpoint on a future version a new entry must be created. - Health Endpoint (mandatory)
- Status (mandatory) - expected status code
- Method (mandatory) - method used to test the health endpoint (ex:
GET POST HEAD) - Headers - headers required to successfully test the endpoint (if any)
- Response - sample response (if any)
- Remarks - additional information (if any)
Notice
This is by far an incomplete list, any raised issue with or w/out a new entry is more than welcomed. PRs even more!
The information table below is bound to change as more details need to be further included.

* it’s highly likely the health endpoint will work for app versions not mentioned here, the listed ones are confirmed to work.
** not all applications define a true health endpoint. in order to have a minimum live-ness “endpoint”, the smallest available request was selected.
