I have 20 containers. 12 of them are "running" and only 8 of them are "healthy".

Should I be bothered?

How do I make all 20 of them "healthy"?

Healthy means that there's a health check that's been implemented and it is returning a positive status. It's not a necessity.

Running just means the container hasn't crashed, it doesn't mean the application is actually working.

Healthy can check if the application is actually working
