Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/184

would like to make use of docker healthchecks in order to restart the container in case it crashes. It would be great if either a healthcheck is directly integrated into the container or curl is installed into the container so that people can setup their own healthcheck. Right now I am building an image ontop of the original one to run apt update && apt install curl as a workaround.
FYI: I am using https://hub.docker.com/r/willfarrell/autoheal/ to make the restart happen.

Please ignore the curl part of the request as there are other tools (wget) already included in the container that allow for basic health checks ...

I think this would do it.

Apologies for the delay on this! I've added a (wget) healthcheck now, which should be available shortly for all develop images.
