Bonding curves as ALife organisms — cadCAD Foundation research proposal + viz mockups
- Python 60.2%
- HTML 39.8%
Healthcheck probed http://localhost/, which resolves to ::1 inside the container; nginx listens IPv4-only (0.0.0.0:80), so the probe got Connection refused and the container showed unhealthy despite serving traffic fine. Point it at 127.0.0.1. Also drop mem_limit 1g -> 64m: a static nginx:alpine site idles at ~6-16MB, so 1GB was ~60x oversized. 64m leaves 4x headroom. |
