fix(health): use TCP dialing instead of ping

- `HEALTH_TARGET_ADDRESS` to replace `HEALTH_ADDRESS_TO_PING` - Remove `github.com/go-ping/ping` dependency - Dial TCP the target address, appending `:443` if port is not set

 Development container that can be used with VSCode.

-It works on Linux, Windows (WSL2) and OSX.
+It works on Linux, Windows and OSX.

 ## Requirements

 - [VS code](https://code.visualstudio.com/download) installed
- [VS code dev containers extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers) installed
+- [VS code remote containers extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers) installed
 - [Docker](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop) installed and running
+    - If you don't use Linux or WSL 2, share your home directory `~/` and the directory of your project with Docker Desktop
+- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) installed
+- Ensure your host has the following and that they are accessible by Docker:
+    - `~/.ssh` directory
+    - `~/.gitconfig` file (can be empty)

 ## Setup

-1. Create the following files and directory on your host if you don't have them:
-
-    ```sh
-    touch ~/.gitconfig ~/.zsh_history
-    mkdir -p ~/.ssh
-    ```
-
-1. **For OSX hosts**: ensure the project directory and your home directory `~` are accessible by Docker.
 1. Open the command palette in Visual Studio Code (CTRL+SHIFT+P).
-1. Select `Dev-Containers: Open Folder in Container...` and choose the project directory.
+1. Select `Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container...` and choose the project directory.
+1. For Docker running on Windows HyperV, if you want to use SSH keys, bind mount them at `/tmp/.ssh` by changing the `volumes` section in the [docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml).

 ## Customization

-For any customization to take effect, you should "rebuild and reopen":
+### Customize the image

-1. Open the command palette in Visual Studio Code (CTRL+SHIFT+P)
-2. Select `Dev-Containers: Rebuild Container`
+You can make changes to the [Dockerfile](Dockerfile) and then rebuild the image. For example, your Dockerfile could be:

-Changes you can make are notably:
+```Dockerfile
+FROM qmcgaw/godevcontainer
+USER root
+RUN apk add curl
+USER vscode
+```

- Changes to the Docker image in [Dockerfile](Dockerfile)
- Changes to VSCode **settings** and **extensions** in [devcontainer.json](devcontainer.json).
- Change the entrypoint script by adding a bind mount in [devcontainer.json](devcontainer.json) of a shell script to `/root/.welcome.sh` to replace the [current welcome script](https://github.com/qdm12/godevcontainer/blob/master/shell/.welcome.sh). For example:
+Note that you may need to use `USER root` to build as root, and then change back to `USER vscode`.

-    ```json
-    // Welcome script
-    {
-        "source": "/yourpath/.welcome.sh",
-        "target": "/root/.welcome.sh",
-        "type": "bind"
-    },
+To rebuild the image, either:
+
+- With VSCode through the command palette, select `Remote-Containers: Rebuild and reopen in container`
+- With a terminal, go to this directory and `docker-compose build`
+
+### Customize VS code settings
+
+You can customize **settings** and **extensions** in the [devcontainer.json](devcontainer.json) definition file.
+
+### Entrypoint script
+
+You can bind mount a shell script to `/home/vscode/.welcome.sh` to replace the [current welcome script](shell/.welcome.sh).
+
+### Publish a port
+
+To access a port from your host to your development container, publish a port in [docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml).
+
+### Run other services
+
+1. Modify [docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml) to launch other services at the same time as this development container, such as a test database:
+
+    ```yml
+      database:
+        image: postgres
+        restart: always
+        environment:
+          POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password
    ```

- More options are documented in the [devcontainer.json reference](https://containers.dev/implementors/json_reference/).
+1. In [devcontainer.json](devcontainer.json), change the line `"runServices": ["vscode"],` to `"runServices": ["vscode", "database"],`.
+1. In the VS code command palette, rebuild the container.

-Important notes:
+One of the following is required:

- There is no need to support both OpenVPN and Wireguard for a provider, but it's better to support both if possible
- We do **not** implement authentication to access servers information behind a login. This is way too time consuming unfortunately
- If it's not possible to support a provider natively, you can still use the [the custom provider](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/providers/custom.md)
-
-## For Wireguard
-
-Wireguard can be natively supported ONLY if:
-
- the `PrivateKey` field value is the same across all servers for one user account
- the `Address` field value is:
-  - can be found in a structured (JSON etc.) list of servers publicly available; OR
-  - the same across all servers for one user account
- the `PublicKey` field value is:
-  - can be found in a structured (JSON etc.) list of servers publicly available; OR
-  - the same across all servers for one user account
- the `Endpoint` field value:
-  - can be found in a structured (JSON etc.) list of servers publicly available
-  - can be determined using a pattern, for example using country codes in hostnames
-
-If any of these conditions are not met, Wireguard cannot be natively supported or there is no advantage compared to using a custom Wireguard configuration file.
-
-If **all** of these conditions are met, please provide an answer for each of them.
-
-## For OpenVPN
-
-OpenVPN can be natively supported ONLY if one of the following can be provided, by preference in this order:
-
- Publicly accessible URL to a structured (JSON etc.) list of servers **and attach** an example Openvpn configuration file for both TCP and UDP; OR
- Publicly accessible URL to a zip file containing the Openvpn configuration files; OR
+- Publicly accessible URL to a zip file containing the Openvpn configuration files
+- Publicly accessible URL to a structured (JSON etc.) list of servers **and attach** an example Openvpn configuration file for both TCP and UDP
 - Publicly accessible URL to the list of servers **and attach** an example Openvpn configuration file for both TCP and UDP
+
+If the list of servers requires to login **or** is hidden behind an interactive configurator,
+you can only use a custom Openvpn configuration file.
+[The Wiki](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki/Openvpn-file) describes how to do so.
