Additional Information

I didn't set tc.host manually in ~/.testcontainers.properties

This is only thing that I have in there:
docker.client.strategy=org.testcontainers.dockerclient.UnixSocketClientProviderStrategy

Hi, unfortunately it is not enough information to see what's happening. I am running against Docker engine 27.5.1 on macOs Sequoia 15.3.1 and my tests are working against Docker Desktop.

Hello,
Is there anything else that I can provide to understand what's going here ?

[eddumelendez]
