Bug: rootless docker-in-docker in Gitlab CI can't find containers

Describe the bug

Trying to start containers in rootless docker-in-docker running on Gitlab self-hosted runners results in docker.errors.NotFound: 404 Client Error for https://docker:2376/v1.44/containers/fa2ce8ad268341b04006af38e93bd4ce9873df0de7f1686ffc3eba63558a5c9f/json: Not Found ("No such container: fa2ce8ad268341b04006af38e93bd4ce9873df0de7f1686ffc3eba63558a5c9f")

To Reproduce

• Gitlab self-hosted runner
• Docker autoscaler executor
• Rootless docker-in-docker
• cp -r /certs/client/* /root/.docker because the Docker dependency doesn't respect DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR and tcp://docker:2376 fails without certs in this dir (got this from here: https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-python/blob/main/core/tests/test_docker_in_docker.py#L221)
• Run pytest that uses testcontainers

@alexanderankin Perhaps one for you given https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-python/issues/517?

Bắt đầu với core/tests/test_docker_in_docker.py, tệp này kiểm thử hành vi của Docker-in-Docker, và tái hiện lỗi pytest đã được báo cáo bằng cách sử dụng Docker-in-Docker rootless trên một GitLab self-hosted runner. Truy vết thiết lập kết nối Docker và chứng chỉ được mô tả trong issue. Công việc được xem là hoàn tất khi testcontainers có thể tìm và quản lý các container của nó trong môi trường này mà không gặp lỗi 404 đã được báo cáo.
