How can i use testcontainer in mac os with out Docker Desktop? - spring

Question

Today, i heard new that the docker desktop will be not free. so, our team has conclusion to delete docker desktop and use minikube.
then, we can use docker cli, but,, when we use testContainer in java project(We use intellij) the testContainer not work because of docker. how can we solve this problem?

We looked at various ways to run Testcontainers based tests in Windows and Macos: https://www.atomicjar.com/2021/10/docker-on-windows-and-macos/
This experiment was done based on the testcontainers-java test suite itself, so it covers all the features of the library well. For example, Minikube exposes Docker and showed reasonable results. One thing to note is how you can expose your filesystem to the containers which requires mounting them first into the minikube.
So I'd recommend using copyTo/FromContainer methods instead of mounting things.
To configure minikube to be used from Testcontainers use the testcontainers.properties file, like (example from the article linked above):
$ eval $(minikube -p minikube docker-env)
$ echo "docker.host=$DOCKER_HOST" >> ~/.testcontainers.properties
$ echo "docker.cert.path=$DOCKER_CERT_PATH" >> ~/.testcontainers.properties
$ echo "docker.tls.verify=true" >> ~/.testcontainers.properties
Alternatively you can use Rancher Desktop which exposes Docker, or remote Docker environments, for example Testcontainers Cloud. In case of Testcontainers cloud your tests run locally, but the containers in the cloud, so there's no issues with architecture or OS incompatibilities.
