What is the version of Gluetun

What's the problem 🤔

I am using /gluetun-entrypoint healthcheck command to determine when my kubernetes pod container (running as a sidecar) is ready to receive connections via the http proxy. This command seem to exit with a 0 code even if gluetun is not ready.

I was experiencing the same, had to play a bit with it to avoid this, it'd be great if it could be fixed. I ended up with the following:

docker exec -it proxy sh -c "GOOD='0';[[ $(./gluetun-entrypoint healthcheck | wc -c) -ne 0 ]] && GOOD='1';(exit $GOOD); echo $?"

Hope it helps!

(Sorry for lagging so much on issues)

I believe this has been fixed by https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/commit/7a3b9941aaf6467f9b964456e25b34098b07f20d a few weeks ago. Let me know if it still not fixed. Thanks for reporting the issue too 👍

I dont know if this issue has broken again, or wasnt fully fixed, but I am experiencing the same issue on the latest build.

./gluetun-entrypoint healthcheck returns 0 while v1/openvpn/status returns {"status":"stopped"}

gluetun image does not include curl and K8s cant parse the output of the status page so how to get the container to actually restart when the VPN fails?
