This role will deploy a Dockerized healthchecks instance. Optionally backs up to a borg repo hourly and optionally restores the latest backup after installing.

Requirements

Ubuntu host

Docker and Docker Compose (and their pip modules docker, docker-py, docker-compose)

Notes

If you want https, you will need to set it up on the host (with nginx as a reverse proxy and let's encrypt for instance). See my docker-proxy role to achieve that.
