I've been trying to start a mongoDB and cassandra container and make them pass two simple health checks, but they keep failing no matter what health check I put:

For mongoDB, here's my yml file:

version: '3.1'

services:

  mongo:
    image: mongo:3.6.3
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 27017:27017
    environment:
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${MONGO_PASSWORD}
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "mongo --quiet 127.0.0.1/test --eval 'quit(db.runCommand({ ping: 1 }).ok ? 0 : 2)'"]
      start_period: 5s
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 120s
      retries: 24

and for cassandra:

version: '2'

services:
  cassandra:
    image: 'docker.io/bitnami/cassandra:3-debian-10'
    ports:
      - '7000:7000'
      - '9042:9042'
    volumes:
      - 'cassandra_data:/bitnami'
    environment:
      - CASSANDRA_SEEDS=cassandra
      - CASSANDRA_PASSWORD_SEEDER=yes
      - CASSANDRA_PASSWORD
      - MAX_HEAP_SIZE=1G
      - HEAP_NEWSIZE=800M
    healthcheck:
      test: [ "CMD-SHELL", "cqlsh --username cassandra --password ${CASSANDRA_PASSWORD} -e 'describe cluster'" ]
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 120s
      retries: 24

Am I missing something,

I also tried running this for the health check:

echo 'db.runCommand({serverStatus:1}).ok' | mongo admin -u $MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME -p $MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD --quiet | g$$et | grep 1```
I went trough a lot of the discussions about the healthchecks for mongo and cassandra, but still not able to make it work

For everyone still out there trying to figure out how to set the health check for mongo container, use this

healthcheck:
  test: echo 'db.runCommand("ping").ok' | mongosh localhost:27017/productiondb --quiet
  interval: 10s
  timeout: 10s
  retries: 3
  start_period: 20s

The reason why (at least for me) it was not working before is because I was using mongo instead of mongosh while the recent versions of mongo uses the newer mongosh shell

First, you shoudn't use CMD-SHEEl but CMD: Related github issue

Can you share healthcheck status and any log that can be useful to help you ?

I think this thread can help you: Why does the docker-compose healthcheck of my mongo container always fail?

Sincerly,

Was having the same problem, I found my answer here for cassandra:

https://quantonganh.com/2021/09/09/docker-compose-healthcheck

    healthcheck:
      test: cqlsh -u cassandra -p cassandra -k <YOUR_KEYSPACE_NAME>
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 6
