General Container runtime requirements
Overview
p. “To run Testcontainers-based tests, you need a Docker-API compatible container runtime”
p. “Docker environments are automatically detected and used by Testcontainers without any additional configuration being necessary.”
p. “It is possible to configure Testcontainers to work with alternative container runtimes.”
p. “Making use of the free Testcontainers Desktop app will take care of most of the manual configuration.”
p. “without Testcontainers Desktop, sometimes some manual configuration might be necessary”
Colima
p. “In order to run testcontainers against colima the env vars below should be set”
Example
$ colima start --network-address $ export TESTCONTAINERS_DOCKER_SOCKET_OVERRIDE=/var/run/docker.sock $ export TESTCONTAINERS_HOST_OVERRIDE=$(colima ls -j | jq -r '.address') $ export DOCKER_HOST="unix://${HOME}/.colima/default/docker.sock"
