I don't plan to actively work on that. 'happy to help in integrating a PR request for this upgrade though.

However, long-term docker:run will be feature-frozen as I would recommend testcontainers.org as the better alternative for integration tests. That way we can focus better on creating images with other technologies like Jib or other daemonless builder tools like Buildah. This is not written in stone, however its probably the direction where d-m-p is heading to.
