-## Healthcheck
-
-The container includes a healthcheck that verifies if the ProFTPD server is running on port 21. The healthcheck configuration is as follows:
-
-```dockerfile
-HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=10s --start-period=5s --retries=3 \
-  CMD nc -z localhost 21 || exit 1
-```
-
-This checks the ProFTPD service every 30 seconds, with a 10-second timeout and 3 retries before marking the container as unhealthy.
