this is my waypoint.hcl

```plaintext
project = "imgserver"

app "imgserver" {
  build {
    use "docker" {
      buildkit = true
      platform = "linux/amd64"
      disable_entrypoint = true
    }

    registry {
      use "docker" {
        image = "xxx/imgserver"
        tag = "latest"
        local = false
      }
    }
  }

  deploy {
    use "nomad-jobspec" {
      jobspec = templatefile("${path.app}/imgserver.nomad.hcl", {
        hostname = var.hostname
        datacenter = var.datacenter
        host_network = var.host_network
      })
    }
  }

  release {}

  url {
    auto_hostname = false
  }
}

variable "hostname" {
  type = string
  default = "localhost"
}

variable "datacenter" {
  type = string
  default = "dc1"

variable "host_network" {
  type = string
  default = "default"

```

and my nomad template:

        host_network = "${host_network}"
        to = 8080
      }
    }

    service {
      provider = "nomad"
      name = "imgserver"
      port = "http"

      check {
        type = "http"
        path = "/health"
        interval = "10s"
        timeout = "1m"
      } 

      tags = [
        "traefik.enable=true",
        "traefik.http.routers.imgserver.rule=Host(`${hostname}`)",

      ]
    }

    vault {
      policies = ["nomad-imgserver"]
    }

    task "imgserver" {
      driver = "docker"
      config {
        image = "xxx/imgserver:latest"

        ports = ["http"]
        force_pull = true
      }

      env {
        WAYPOINT_CEB_DISABLE_EXEC = "1"
      }

      template {
        data = <<EOH

EOH
        destination = "$${NOMAD_SECRETS_DIR}/imgserver.env"

Hey @zboralski , Waypoint may be reporting the job as `DOWN` because Waypoint runs a status report as soon as the deployment is complete, and the app may not be fully up and running yet. After some time passes, the app may be fully online, but unless polling is enabled, that status will not refresh automatically. To trigger that to update, try running `waypoint status -p imgserver -a imgserver -refresh`.
