Let me know if you need anything to test in my lab environment

Done in 0c3d258620 you can now set -e HEALTH_SERVER_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:9998 for example. Didn't try it out of laziness, but it should work! Let me know if it doesn't though 👀

Indeed, thanks for insisting! I messed it up in my Maintenance: simplify file paths logic commit this morning 😄 and should be fixed in e19cabc894
