Podman with Docker-compose not working

Trying to get testcontainers work with Podman and Docker-compose in Fedora 35 OS to run tests on a custom Kafka cluster. Tried the following approaches but all of them are failing:

1st Approach:
@Container
private static final DockerComposeContainer kafka = new DockerComposeContainer(
new File("src/test/resources/compose-test.yml")).withOptions("--compatibility")
.withExposedService(KAFKA_SERVICE, KAFKA_PORT,
Wait.forListeningPort().withStartupTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(360)))
.withLocalCompose(true);

This approach throws the below error "Link is not supported"

Seemingly related to the deprecated addLink method below:

2nd Approach:
@Container
private static final DockerComposeContainer kafka = new DockerComposeContainer(
new File("src/test/resources/compose-test.yml")).withOptions("--compatibility")
.waitingFor(KAFKA_SERVICE, Wait.defaultWaitStrategy().withStartupTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(360)))
.withLocalCompose(true);

This approach simply throws a null pointer error:

3rd Approach:
@Container
private static final DockerComposeContainer kafka = new DockerComposeContainer(
new File("src/test/resources/compose-test.yml")).withOptions("--compatibility")
.waitingFor(KAFKA_SERVICE, Wait.defaultWaitStrategy().withStartupTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(360)));

This approach throws the below error:


But, the file in the error has Read/Write/Execute permissions for all users.

Start with the DockerComposeContainer declarations in the issue and the referenced src/test/resources/compose-test.yml. Reproduce the three configurations with Podman on Fedora 35, then trace the reported “Link is not supported,” null-pointer, and permission failures. Done means the Kafka compose setup runs successfully and the reported errors no longer occur.
