Research direction

Start with the README health-check instructions and the appwrite/browser Dockerfile to confirm how the image provides Bun and whether curl is available. Verify the documented health check against http://127.0.0.1:3000/v1/health in the built image; done means it succeeds without requiring an uninstalled system tool.

Description

The current README suggests using curl for the health check. However, the appwrite/browser Dockerfile does not install curl.

As a result, the documented health check fails because the required system tools are missing.

Proposed Fix

Since the bun binary is present, the health check should utilize Bun's native fetch capabilities.

Replace:
curl http://localhost:3000/v1/health

--

bun -e "fetch(''http://127.0.0.1:3000/v1/health'').then(r=>process.exit(r.status===200?0:1)).catch(()=>process.exit(1))" worked for me in my Coolify environment.
