Description
Problem
I saw https://www.tomcools.be/post/june-2022-testcontainer-imagebuilder/ - this getDockerClient / commitCmd / pushImageCmd dance would be exactly what I wanted to do with a MSSQL Container - start, apply EF migration, seed some data, persist & push to registry for developers to pull.
Solution
I didn't see the functionality on .NET side (the obvious .DockerClient didn't exist), replicating the Java functionality would be great.
Benefit
Building container images on the fly using TestContainer.NET
Alternatives
tbh, haven't yet found a good one, eg via bacpac
Would you like to help contributing this enhancement?
No, in the sense that I don't know the internals of TestContainers.NET and likely wouldn't be able to contribute a PR.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No repository files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reading the linked Java DockerClient workflow and then inspect the repository's existing Docker and Testcontainers APIs; done would mean a defined .NET equivalent that can build, persist, and push container images.
