Only x1 Container Listed as "Healthy"

I have a few containers running on my server and noticed that out of x4 containers running concurrently, only x1 is listed as “Healthy”. Is this something I should be concerned about or do I need to do something to verify my other containers are “Healthy”?
I heavily rely on my PostgreSQL database container & want to make sure there are no issues so not seeing listed as healthy in docker ps concerns me but I’m new to containers so appreciate any advice here…

Its kind of hard to spot in the preformatted text above but only “pihole” is listed as healthy:

 Up 3 days (healthy)

Hi

Its because that image contains a health check build into it, and the others dont.
Most images on hub.docker does not contain a health check and thats fine, only docker clusters really benefit from healthchecks

you can read about healthchecks here:
