Health check fails on v2.28.0

[gowtham1337]

Description
The latest image (v2.28.0) of filebrowser from docker hub reports an unhealthy status even though there are no errors and the container is working as expected.

Expected behaviour
Container should report healthy

What is happening instead?
Container is reporting unhealthy

Additional context
Because the container is reporting unhealthy, errors are thrown and several other things fail. For example, a reverse proxy might think this service is unavailable and failover.

How to reproduce?
Docker compose:

filebrowser:
    image: filebrowser/filebrowser:v2.27.0 #this version works
    #image: filebrowser/filebrowser:latest - throws unhealthy check
    container_name: filebrowser
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "81:80"
    volumes:
      - $DOCKERDIR/filebrowser/filebrowser.db:/filebrowser.db
      - $DOCKERDIR/filebrowser/.filebrowser.json:/.filebrowser.json
      - /:/srv

See that the health check for the container is reported as unhealthy in portainer. There is no difference in logs and functionality. App is working perfectly as expected but still shows unhealthy.

There is already a fix for that: #3087
Unfortunately it's still awaiting approval.
In the mean time you could just override the host in the healthcheck:

    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://0.0.0.0:80/health"]
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 5s

Or whatever interface your container is listening to

Hello,
I have put env variable "FB_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0" and seems my healthcheck was successful

Any ETA on when the fix will be approved? We have 20+ filebrowser containers showing unhealthy. It's unsettling. X'D

Since I sort of caused the bug (but fixing another bug/missing-feature), I will try to help, if you have git installed you can build it from the forked repo + bugfix branch with:

docker build -t filebrowser/filebrowser:31119-fix https://github.com/CorySanin/filebrowser.git#bugfix/healthcheck

and then use image name filebrowser/filebrowser:31119-fix for example.
