(I am using docker swarm) I have a docker container running a kafka instance with a healthcheck checking if a topic called hc has been created.
Because of that the docker node ps command shows the CURRENT STATE of the container as STARTING.
I have another docker container which sole purpose is to initialize all needed topics including the hc topic. However with the healthcheck of the kafka container in place the initialization container can’t even ping the kafka container. However when I change the kafka helthcheck to something immediately returning healthy the init container has no problems pining and doing its initialization.
