(Gotta ask somewhere.)

Background:  
I have one and just go it working.

But it uses `docker` (I never have and am new to it).

You have to wait a few minutes for the docker to _start_.

I'm wanting to get some code to detect this and _tell me_.  
As I kinda know NR.... I'll use it.

So I'm asking here.

Andrew, it will take a while toget familiar w docker, I did this journey myself, but once there, you will see the possibilities and advantages. Inside docker image/container you could write some stuff that communicates back to your host that it is fine up and running (myself I communicate between Node-RED and docker via MQTT)

Thanks.  
I didn't know that was possible.

I'll have to look into it.

For now I am _cheating_ and all I do is keep looking for when `docker` returns a `healthy` state.
