[Bug]: Can't overwrite Docker socket path with 2.0.2 / Podman stopped working

Beginne bei DockerClientFactory und den Einträgen UnixSocketClientProviderStrategy und DockerDesktopClientProviderStrategy, die im Log angezeigt werden. Reproduziere den PostgreSQL-Integrationstest mit gesetzten DOCKER_HOST und TESTCONTAINERS_DOCKER_SOCKET_OVERRIDE und verfolge dann, warum der Podman-Socket ignoriert wird. Als abgeschlossen gilt die Aufgabe, wenn Testcontainers 2.0.2 den konfigurierten Socket berücksichtigt und die Integrationstests erfolgreich starten.

What happened?

Sorry if this is a duplicate, I wasn't able to find this issue.

I've been using Podman without any issues with the 1.x release series for years now following instructions like these. However it seems these environment variables are not respected anymore, because after upgrading some of our projects to Spring Boot 4 (which includes tc 2.0) I can't run integration tests anymore. Even after setting the following environment variables it still fails with the same message looking for /var/run/docker.sock, so something seems to be off:

DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock
TESTCONTAINERS_RYUK_DISABLED=true
TESTCONTAINERS_DOCKER_SOCKET_OVERRIDE=unix:///run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock

The only "config" we use is this line in the application-testing.yaml:
