What happened?

When I start my Junit tests in IntelliJ, it is failing and logging :

2024-06-12T11:04:16.067+02:00 WARN --- [ main] o.t.d.DockerClientProviderStrategy : DOCKER_HOST tcp://localhost:2375 is not listening
2024-06-12T11:04:16.099+02:00 INFO --- [ main] .t.d.DockerMachineClientProviderStrategy : docker-machine executable was not found on PATH ([C:\...])
2024-06-12T11:04:16.102+02:00 ERROR --- [ main] o.t.d.DockerClientProviderStrategy : Could not find a valid Docker environment. Please check configuration. Attempted configurations were:
As no valid configuration was found, execution cannot continue.

I have configured my DOCKER_HOST with tcp://localhost:2375 and since testcontainers 1.17.0, it is no longer working as is.
I since changed my DOCKER_HOST replacing "localhost" with the WSL eth0 IP and it is working again, but I don't think it is a good solution.

I'm using WSL2, here is the WSL --version detail :

Version WSL : 2.1.5.0
Version du noyau : 5.15.146.1-2
Version WSLg : 1.0.60
Version MSRDC : 1.2.5105
Version direct3D : 1.611.1-81528511
Version de DXCore : 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp
Version de Windows : 10.0.22631.3593

This problem only occur since testcontainers 1.17.0 and later versions.
Testcontainers 1.16.3 (and older) works great.

My internet browser is accessing DOCKER through http://localhost:2375/ (or my WSL eth0 IP) perfectly.

Relevant log output

No response

Additional Information

No response

Start with DockerClientProviderStrategy and DockerMachineClientProviderStrategy, using the reported DOCKER_HOST tcp://localhost:2375 behavior as the reproduction case. Compare Testcontainers 1.16.3 with 1.17.0 and later on Windows 11 with WSL2. Done means localhost-based Docker communication works again without requiring the WSL eth0 IP, with regression coverage for the reported setup.
