 This will ensure your application is configured with a traefik label for the healthcheck against `/healthz` and that the pre-deploy healthcheck that MRSK performs is done against the same path on port 4000.
 
-The healthcheck also allows for an optional `max_attempts` setting, which will attempt the healthcheck up to the specified number of times before failing the deploy. This is useful for applications that take a while to start up. The default is 7.
+You can also specify a custom healthcheck command, which is useful for non-HTTP services:

+Note that the HTTP health checks assume that the `curl` command is avilable inside the container. If that's not the case, use the healthcheck's `cmd` option to specify an alternative check that the container supports.
