Testcontainers-java: Timed out waiting for container port to open

Hi,
when starting a Container we get the following exception:

We read a lot of threads containing this issue but we are not able to solve it :/
Do you have an idea what we can do to solve this issue?

Thank you

Hi @HeadHunter90,

Did you get more logs? Usually, when container fails to start, we print the logs of it.
You may get the following exception because your app failed to start and it is not Testcontainers related issue.

Thank you for your quick response,
Can i send you the full stacktrace in a PM?
It contains private information. Maybe you can tell me how to send a PM? I am new on Github :)

Thank you

@HeadHunter90 you can join our Slack and send me a DM there :)

The solution was to add

.waitingFor(Wait.forHttp("/readiness").forPort(8000));

because we have liveness and readyness checks.

Thanks a lot @bsideup
