Description

Hi,

I think the 10s timeout for WaitForLog is too short.

I had to manually set it with:

->withWait(new WaitForLog( 'PostgreSQL init process complete; ready for start up.', false, 60_000 ))

In testcontainers-java it's 60s if I'm not mistaken.

See:
https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-java/blob/main/core/src/main/java/org/testcontainers/containers/wait/strategy/LogMessageWaitStrategy.java
And:

Research direction

Start by locating the PHP WaitForLog implementation and its default timeout. Compare the current 10-second behavior with the 60-second expectation described here, then verify that the default wait duration is updated without requiring the manual override shown in the issue.
