After deploying my NestJS api service, it started properly as seen on this screenshot of the deployment logs. But everytime, the health checks fails, which inhibits me from deploying.
I tried, according to the documentation, with a TCP health check, initally on my set port which was 3333, followed by the default port which is 8080, but both without success. I then went on and implemented a service health check route, under /api/health, but once again it still fails. You can take a look at my open-source config/project here.
It doesn’t seem to be giving any other information… Please let me know how I can fix it, or how I can turn off this check.

Thanks for sharing the open source project and config. I forked the project and deployed it via the .do/app.yaml. I hit the same failing health checks error that you described. The problem is a subtle one that we need to get better at surfacing in the platform. Notice at the bottom of the deploy logs that we see this from nestjs:
Server listening at http://127.0.0.1:3333
It’s listening on http://127.0.0.1:3333 — so only connections targeting 127.0.0.1 will be consumed. The resolution for this is to update the code to listen on 0.0.0.0 instead (4e008e1). After making that update, it deploys successfully: https://stator-ewm6b.ondigitalocean.app/
In case you have an app on NUXT. Configure the Nuxt.js server to see your site on deployment.
#in nuxt.config.js
export default {
server: {
port: 8080, // default: 3000
host: '0.0.0.0' // default: localhost
}
}
#in package.json
"config": {
"nuxt": {
"host": "0.0.0.0",
"port": "8080"
}

I had this exact same isssue with a node fastify-server. Adjusting the host name in the fastify config worked perfectly. I am trying to move over from Heroku, and this answer took WAY to long to find.
