Description

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has had any luck running testcontainers-hs with Podman instead of Docker and if there are any helpers for it? I'm trying to run some tests with Podman but unfortunately I am getting permission errors when calling it from haskell, despite things working when using Golang (testcontainers-go).

The go module for testcontainers also has helpers for specifically targeting (I'm guessing they are setting some things that aren't being set when I run the tests from haskell), and I'm wondering if testcontainers-hs has something similar?

Research direction

Start with the linked Podman requirements and compare the referenced testcontainers-go helpers. The issue names no Haskell files or tests; a completed effort would need to establish whether testcontainers-hs supports Podman and define the required handling for the reported permission errors.
