Running testcontainer in devcontainer

[yann-combarnous]

Would there be a guide on how to run testcontainer inside of devcontainer ?

I solved the docker in docker issue, but I am still getting connectionrefused when spinning up databases, so some binding issues.

Can you please give more details? I'm successfully running Docker compose projects inside(!) a devcontainer with their own local custom Docker network and several service containers.

I guess that @yann-combarnous is referring to https://testcontainers.com. It's a way to spin up dependencies in Docker containers in your "unit" tests.

ah, thank you very much for the clarification as I missed that one completely (not least because I'm using my own morbyd Go module for a lightweight convenience test API to Docker and that works beautifully inside Docker inside Docker inside ...).
