[Bug]: Docker health-check script fails when using self signed certificates

Verified issue does not already exist?

• I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

When using self signed certificated, the fetch used in the health-check node script returns an error, what results in an unhealthy status in Docker.

FetchError: request to https://localhost:8003/health failed, reason: self-signed certificate at ClientRequest

How can we reproduce the issue?

Generate own self signed certificates and use them the actual docker compose setup. Enable health check in the docker compose, pointed to the health-check.js script in the src/scripts folder.

Where are you hosting Actual?

I don't know if you're on discord but here's a solution: https://discord.com/channels/937901803608096828/1340016243415056494/1340035073113723003

If you're not on discord here's the highlights:

Basically, you need to tell node to use the self signed certificate by setting the environment variable NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS:

NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ca.crt node src/scripts/health-check.js'

You'll want to make sure your self signed certificate has localhost in the subject list.
