Working with DB2

🐛 Issue Description: Testcontainers Stuck While Starting DB2

I’m experiencing a problem when starting my Testcontainers setup with DB2. The startup process gets stuck for a very long time on this step:

Task #3 start
Description: Configuring DB2 instances
Estimated time 300 second(s)

It seems to hang and doesn’t proceed past this step within a reasonable timeframe.

❓Questions

Is this a known issue with Testcontainers and DB2?
Or am I missing something in my configuration that could cause this delay?

🧪 Context

Using Testcontainers with DB2
The container doesn’t progress past the “Configuring DB2 instances” step
Estimated time shows 300 seconds but it doesn’t complete

Which image (version) are you using? Which builder configuration? Are the logs you're referring to from the container itself? Have you tried using a configuration aligned with our tests?

Hi,

1. I'm using this image: "icr.io/db2_community/db2:11.5.9.0".
2. These are the builder configurations:

_container = new ContainerBuilder()
    .WithImage("icr.io/db2_community/db2:11.5.9.0")
    .WithEnvironment("LICENSE", "accept")
    .WithEnvironment("DB2INST1_PASSWORD", "TestPwd1!")
    .WithEnvironment("DBNAME", "TESTDB")
    .WithEnvironment("ARCHIVE_LOGS", "false")
    .WithEnvironment("AUTOCONFIG", "false")
    .WithPortBinding(50000, true)
    .WithPrivileged(true)
    .WithWaitStrategy(Wait.ForUnixContainer()
        .UntilMessageIsLogged("Setup has completed"))
    .Build();

3. The Logs are emitted from the container itself.
4. I haven't tried using a configuration which is aligned with tests

Have you tried running the container with the CLI using the same args? I think it will behave the same way and is more likely an issue with the configuration or the image.
