Docker healthcheck CMD mock in Python

Runs a subprocess to curl a health endpoint and returns exit code 0 when healthy, 1 when unhealthy, mimicking a Docker HEALTHCHECK command.

docker healthcheck subprocess
Python
import subprocess
import sys


def run_healthcheck() -> int:
    result = subprocess.run(["curl", "-fsS", "http://localhost:8080/health"], capture_output=True, text=True)
    if result.returncode == 0:
        print("healthy")
        return 0
    print("unhealthy", file=sys.stderr)
    return 1

How to Build a Synthetic Monitor Mock in Python

Simulates a synthetic monitoring system in Python that collects latency samples, averages them, and reports service status as UP or DEGRADED.

monitoring dataclass simulation
Python
import random
import time
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from statistics import mean


@dataclass
class SyntheticMonitor:
    service: str
    endpoint: str
    latency_ms: list[float] = field(default_factory=list)

    def check(self) -> float:
        latency = random.uniform(50.0, 250.0)

Copy-ready Python snippets for learners and developers

PythonSkillset code samples are short, focused examples organised by topic and difficulty. Every snippet is server-rendered HTML — readable by search engines and easy to copy. Open any sample, read the notes, copy the code, then press Try in editor to run it in the browser with Pyodide.

How to use this library

  1. Pick a topic section — strings, lists, files, functions, and more
  2. Open a sample, read How it works, and copy the code block
  3. Run it in the IDE, tweak values, then take a related quiz or tutorial lesson

Samples vs tutorials and challenges

Samples are quick reference — one concept per page. For step-by-step teaching, use our Python tutorials. To test yourself, try quizzes or coding challenges. Clean up style with the Python formatter.
