Description
Describe the bug
Launching MongoDB Testcontainer in GitLab with dind yields error: "Exception: port mapping for container xxxx and port 27017 is not available" - i.e.:
"testcontainers.core.exceptions.TimeoutException: Wait time (120s) exceeded for get_exposed_port(args: (27017,), kwargs {}). Exception: port mapping for container afa0edc97197698ae51ad40d64a8f2b37de2a52027d3cb9f4c9e9959442a9b8d and port 27017 is not available"
Expected test to run as it does in the local test with docker.
Tried running the postgres testcontainer in the same test file and pipeline, which works. So am suspecting an issue with the mongodb testcontainer implementation.
To Reproduce
Add the test from here:
https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-python/blob/928af5a88393d8223a0d5a55e9378941826997ec/mongodb/tests/test_mongodb.py#L57
And the postgres test which works from here:
https://testcontainers-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/postgres/README.html
And run in GitLab pipeline with:
.test:
services:
- name: docker:dind
command: ["--tls=false"]
variables:
DOCKER_HOST: "tcp://docker:2375"
DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR: ""
DOCKER_DRIVER: overlay2
image: python:3.12.0-slim-bookworm
script:
- python -m pip install poetry
- poetry install --with dev
- poetry run pytest .
Runtime environment
Running GitLab Community version 16.4.0 with GitLab runners and docker in docker.
Testcontainers version 3.7.1
Python 3.12.0
pymongo 4.5.0

Research direction
Start with mongodb/tests/test_mongodb.py at the linked test and reproduce it in the supplied GitLab dind job; compare its behavior with the PostgreSQL test. Trace the MongoDB container's exposed-port handling and verify the fix by rerunning pytest in that pipeline without the port-mapping timeout.
