Summary by cubic

Updated Docker HEALTHCHECK to use grep on /proc/1/cmdline instead of pgrep, since pgrep isn’t available in the image. Ensures the container reports healthy when OpenVPN is running.

Written for commit 7f401f6. Summary will update automatically on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The HEALTHCHECK instruction in the Dockerfile was modified to change the container health verification method. The check was replaced from using pgrep -f openvpn (searching for running processes) to grep -q openvpn /proc/1/cmdline (directly checking the init process's command line). This single-line change alters how the container determines if the OpenVPN service is active.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~8 minutes

  • Specific areas requiring attention:
    • Verify that grep -q openvpn /proc/1/cmdline correctly identifies the OpenVPN process in /proc/1 (the init process of the container)
    • Confirm the new method provides equivalent or improved reliability compared to the previous pgrep -f approach
    • Ensure the change doesn't affect container health checks in edge cases or different container configurations

15-15: The original review comment is incorrect — the healthcheck change is technically sound.

The analysis misunderstood how the entrypoint works. The script uses exec openvpn ... at the end, which replaces the shell process entirely. This means PID 1 becomes the openvpn process itself, not the entrypoint script. Therefore, /proc/1/cmdline will contain the openvpn command line and will match the "openvpn" string.

The new healthcheck is functionally equivalent to the old pgrep -f openvpn, but it doesn't require the procps package, which is not included in Debian bookworm-slim by default. The change correctly solves the stated problem: making the healthcheck work without requiring additional packages.

Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.
