Provide a generic image about testcontainers-rs HOT 3 CLOSED

Is there any plan to add it?

At the moment no because we don't have a need for it right now.

It would be good to have an equivalent of the GenericContainer Java class to easily use custom images.

Would containers created in this way have any "wait strategy" attached to them? How do you know when they are ready to be interacted with? From the docs of testcontainers-java, I assume this feature is then not available?

I guess we could start out with a simple generic container and add parametrized wait strategies later on.

I don't think I will have time to work on this soon, so you are free to give it a go if you are keen :)

Yes, they have a DSL that permits to define everything, including a wait strategy. For example, this is the way I create a custom Postgres image:

public GenericContainer containerWithWaitStrategy = new GenericContainer("postgres:9.6-alpine")
                    .withEnv("POSTGRES_PASSWORD", "postgres")
                    .withEnv("POSTGRES_USER", "postgres")
                    .withExposedPorts(5432)
                    .waitingFor(
                            Wait.forListeningPort()
                           // OR: Wait.forLogMessage(".*ready to accept connections*\\s", 1)
                    );
