No such container error

Spring boot versions: 2.5.3
testcontainers version: 1.16.2
Added dependencies:

When I run the below integration test it gives the following error:

What I'm doing wrong!?

I managed to run the project in a virtual box, but this time with the official Docker engine, instead of the one provided by dnf packager, and it ran has expected. So I'm closing this issue.

Thanks for reporting and closing again with your fix. Indeed, we generally only support the official Docker packages, since some distro packages have a tendency to have strange quirks.

Since you are using dnf, were you on Fedora or RHEL? It might have even given you podman, not sure about their behavior at the moment.

[luis-alves]

I'm on Fedora 35. What do you mean by "It might have even given you podman"? Can I use podman instead?

[kiview]

Since podman is not yet a fully compatible Docker replacement, podman does not work with Testcontainers. Also, see our blog post with some insights on this topic.

That being said, I just checked that dnf install docker does indeed install Docker on Fedora 35. So if the distro shipped Docker package does not work with Testcontainers, the issue should be somewhere else. If you are interested in resolving this, you can provide more Testcontainers logs.

However, I'd suggest continuing using the official Docker packages instead.

The NotFoundException likely was from Testcontainers not being able to start Ryuk. Also, see this PR for an explanation of the exception:
#4842

I had the same issue on fedora 37 and the official docker desktop downloaded from docker website.

Problem was that docker desktop was returning success response to createContainer request and actually return an id, but I couldn't find that container anywhere or any logs related to it. Then the failure happens on startContainer call with the No such container error.

Solution for me was to uninstall docker desktop and use docker engine instead.
