https://typesense.org/docs/guide/install-typesense.html#%F0%9F%86%97-health-check says Health Check You can use the

/health

API end-point to verify that the server is ready to accept requests.

curl <http://localhost:8108/health>
{"ok":true}

but that doesnt seem usable when in docker compose

I installed mine with Docker and was able to successfully

curl

the

/health

endpoint you're running this curl command on the machine that you installed docker on, and your containers are running?

It might be a different hostname, instead of localhost you need to use the service name

It worked for me with localhost, but I run the command on the machine itself, not through docker compose Maybe the ports aren’t set up right with docker?

I use docker-compose regularly and the hostname is usually an issue for frontend work... I think there's some stuff you have to set on the networks key.

hi my docker compose yaml is

typesense:
    image: typesense/typesense:28.0
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 127.0.0.1:8108:8108
    environment:
      TYPESENSE_DATA_DIR: /var/lib/typesense/data
      TYPESENSE_API_KEY: typesense
    volumes:
      - ./typesense/data:/var/lib/typesense/data
    networks:
      - rs-network

try getting rid of

networks:
      - rs-network

in the entire yml file, just to test if that resolves the issue
