Jhipster 8.5.0: Use podman instead of Docker with Testcontainers

[djibythiaw]

Hello,
I want to use podman instead of Testcontainers while running my tests. Is it possible to do that ? If yes, how to configure it ?
Regards

You want to use podman instead of docker with testcontainers or would like to replace testcontainers?
If you want to use podman instead of docker (podman is a docker alternative) you should consult the testcontainers documentation for podman usage. But I have never used podman myself, but as far as I heard from others its working fine.

on my fedora before I run the test, I run "systemctl --user start podman.socket" in the terminal.

Yes. Testcontainers can use Podman as a Docker-compatible runtime.

Basic setup (Linux)

systemctl --user enable --now podman.socket
export DOCKER_HOST=unix://${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/podman/podman.sock
export TESTCONTAINERS_RYUK_DISABLED=true

Then run:

./mvnw test

Optional config (~/.testcontainers.properties):

docker.host=unix:///run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock
ryuk.container.privileged=false

Summary
Keep Testcontainers
Use Podman socket instead of Docker
Rootless Podman may need adjustments
