Describe the bug
Something performs checks every 10 seconds or less, calling out to google.
That something doesn't seem to be able to parse the respons properly and leaves files in the directory as is. Filling up the volume on which the container runs.

This looks like it could be an issue with the wget healthcheck, as if it's ignoring being told to output to console. I just updated it to use curl instead with 1fdf226802, which I think should fix this issue.
