om health custom health checks?

[shivaraj-bh]

Is there a need to let users configure custom health checks?

Here's one use-case from on top of my mind:

• Checking if there are any services running globally; sometimes that can cause problems if we are using services-flake to startup project specific services. If we are looking for an experience where we ensure that, “If health checks pass, then everything will work fine, almost always.”, then this might be a good addition.

Let's list down more such scenarios here and see if this feature is worth adding

Can't we instead make services-flake change the process-compose wrapper to check the ports before starting processes up and then print friendly error message? Custom checks may be useful, but I'm not totally sure if this particular use-case should be in the domain of nix-health.

This can be done; in terms of UX I had a thought that with health checks the user will be aware that the dev environment might not work as expected and additionally a suggestion could come in handy.
