tcp/http health probe endpoint

[motmot80]

This is more or less a painful unresolved Microsoft issue, but it is not possible to use the a Microsoft Azure load balancer udp rule without a tcp/http health probe. The Valheim pod is UDP-only and has no tcp/http health endpoints so it is necessary to create an addon DaemonSet to cover this need. But this really does not show the health status of the Valheim instance...

Having all the great support services already on board it would be great having a health endpoint, too.

@motmot80, I believe the valheim-docker repo added a status endpoint which uses http.

We could add a param to enable that and add a health probe. I believe the param is STATUS_HTTP.

See the README.md for that here .

If anyone is hoping for this to be added to the project, thumbs up this comment and I'll see to it.
