+## Healthcheck
+
+Vikunja uses a docker [scratch](https://hub.docker.com/_/scratch/) image, that is completely empty, therefore it is necessary to copy a statically build healthcheck binary into the container to perform the healthcheck.
+
+To verify the binary in this recipe run this code:
+
+```
+# Set the source date epoch for reproducibility
+export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=1640995200
+export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1
+
+# Build the Docker image
+docker build --build-arg SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=${SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH} -t healthcheck -f healthcheck_Dockerfile .
+
+# Create container, extract binary and remove the container
+docker create --name healthcheck_builder healthcheck
+docker cp healthcheck_builder:/app/healthcheck .
+docker rm healthcheck_builder
+
+# Check if the build is reproducible by calculating hash
+sha256sum healthcheck
+```
+The sha256 checksum should be **c7c12a0eb019edd275c3f5a9302c70b2112941a8c0b9d9128d26c66a81a263c6**
