What happened?

I'm building a service with spring boot 3 that talks to k8s API using fabric8 java client. So, I want to run full integration tests without any mocks, including k8s cluster. To start k8s in tests I'm using k3s-testcontainers. It starts fine, but then I need a custom registry for k3s to pull my private images from during tests. So I thought I can start a docker registry in testcontainers for this.

The registry starts fine in testcontainers, but I cannot push anything to it. Neither in the code, nor through docker cli when the test is paused in the debug mode. I prepared a minimal demo to reproduce the issue: https://github.com/pfilaretov42/spring-testcontainers-registry

Here is how to reproduce the issue using my repository above:

• Set breakpoint in TestcontainersTest class, on "set breakpoint here" line.
• Debug TestcontainersTest.test() (e.g. in IntelliJ IDEA)
• When paused, notice the mapped port for the registry container, e.g. 57025:

  docker ps | grep registry

• Pull, tag, and push image to the registry:

% docker pull hello-world
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world

Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
docker.io/library/hello-world:latest
What's Next?
  1. Sign in to your Docker account → docker login
  2. View a summary of image vulnerabilities and recommendations → docker scout quickview hello-world

% docker tag hello-world localhost:57025/hello-world
% docker push localhost:57025/hello-world
Using default tag: latest
The push refers to repository [localhost:57025/hello-world]

% docker tag hello-world 127.0.0.1:57025/hello-world
% docker push 127.0.0.1:57025/hello-world
Using default tag: latest
The push refers to repository [127.0.0.1:57025/hello-world]
Get "http://127.0.0.1:57025/v2/": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:57025: connect: connection refused

% docker tag hello-world 0.0.0.0:57025/hello-world
% docker push 0.0.0.0:57025/hello-world
Using default tag: latest
The push refers to repository [0.0.0.0:57025/hello-world]
Get "https://0.0.0.0:57025/v2/": http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client

As you can see I tried different host names (localhost, 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0) but nothing works.

And here is how it works with plain docker cli, i.e. no testcontainers:

% docker run -d --rm -p 5000:5000 --name registry registry:2
443f9ea881257529793b059442a24be96e992123a484b756b8d1ae41eec4a332

% docker pull hello-world
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from library/hello-world

Status: Image is up to date for hello-world:latest
docker.io/library/hello-world:latest
What's Next?
  1. Sign in to your Docker account → docker login
  2. View a summary of image vulnerabilities and recommendations → docker scout quickview hello-world

% docker tag hello-world localhost:5000/hello-world

% docker push localhost:5000/hello-world
Using default tag: latest
The push refers to repository [localhost:5000/hello-world]

Relevant log output

No response

Additional Information

I cannot use the latest version of testcontainers since the version is defined by the spring boot starter org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-testcontainers.

And one more thing I forgot to mention: registry's catalog is actually available via http:

% curl http://localhost:57025/v2/_catalog
{"repositories":[]}

In order to override the version provided by spring boot look at the spring boot gradle and maven docs.

Okay, I was not very clear. I know I can override the version, but it should not be done in most cases. Spring docs that you mentioned warns about this:

Each Spring Boot release is designed and tested against a specific set of third-party dependencies. Overriding versions may cause compatibility issues and should be done with care.

I've just tried to set the latest testcontainers version explicitly in build.gradle with

ext['testcontainers.version'] = '1.20.2'

The result and errors are the same, I cannot push to the registry started in testcontainers.

were you able to find a solution to this issue? I'm also facing the same

no, I haven't found a solution
