Hi everyone! Our recommendation if you want to run tests on the same host as where the Docker containers are running is to use the Machine executor. Please let us know if there are any further questions or concerns.

Any updates? More and more people are starting to use test containers and this is a show stopper for using circle ci.

Any new about this? Most of our projects are starting to have some tests using testcontainers for checking the correctness of our queries against a real DB without needing to deploy the code into a development environment. We probably will be migrating out of CircleCI on a short term if we can no longer use the docker executor.

+1 on wanting to use Testcontainers.

In the same boat as guest from May 16th. Would really like to be able to use TestContainers without needing to use a machine executor. If machine executor prices go up as foreshadowed by the docs "Note: Using machine may require additional fees in a future pricing update.", we will definitely have to reevaluate our CI options.

Yes - this is yet another reason for me to start moving my team away from CircleCI.

I would like to share that this is also a blocker for everyone who would want to use TestContainers
