As per the docs the following should override the image defined health check. But it fails to override the image defined health check. This is important where the image defined health check is not applicable. One such example is using the creating a MySQL cluster in that the default health check is against mysqld which is not appropriate because either ndbd or ndb_mgmd is appropriate.

This leaves the container marked as unhealthy.

Using;

healthcheck:
  test: ["NONE"]

If you use the above to launch MySQL the default health check is used, inspect output following.

            "Healthcheck": {
                "Test": [
                    "CMD-SHELL",
                    "/healthcheck.sh"
                ]
            },

Resulting in;

The work around is to call a stub shell which simply calls exit 0.

    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "{{ mysql_config_directory }}/healthcheck.sh"]

Resulting in;

            "Healthcheck": {
                "Test": [
                    "CMD-SHELL",
                    "/etc/cell/dev/mysql/healthcheck.sh"
                ]
