Not able to implement health-on-failure via podman-compose

[tim13kh]

Hello ,

Seems it is not possible to setup option '--health-on-failure' via podman-compose

podman run --replace -d --name test-container --health-cmd /healthcheck --health-on-failure=kill --health-retries=1 health-check-actions

I think it's mainly due to the fact the compose specificiation doesn't have any way to specify an action when the container is unhealthy

Regardless it would be helpful to have something to automatically restart containers based on their health. Either in the compose file or an external service
On Docker there's the docker-autoheal but it uses the docker socket

As a workaround, I'm running podman-compose with --podman-run-args set:

podman-compose --verbose --podman-run-args='--health-on-failure=restart' up --build -d

This requires that all services have a healthcheck defined, either with a test command, or be explicitly disabled:

service:
  s:
    healthcheck:
      disable: true

I've proposed a PR#955 that should allow to specify that.
