## Description Migrate 17 Testcontainers guides from testcontainers.com into the Docker docs site, covering Java (14 guides), .NET (2 guides), and Node.js (1 guide). This follows up on PR #24450 which added the initial Go and Python guides. Each guide is converted from AsciiDoc to Hugo Markdown, split into multi-chapter stepper navigation, updated to the latest Testcontainers API, and verified with passing tests running in containers. Java guides use testcontainers-java 2.0.4 with the new 2.x Maven coordinates and package names (e.g., `testcontainers-postgresql`, `org.testcontainers.postgresql.PostgreSQLContainer`). The Quarkus guide uses Quarkus 3.22.3 with TC 1.x managed by the Quarkus BOM, since no released Quarkus version ships TC 2.x yet. ## How to test All code snippets have been verified by running each guide's source repository tests inside Docker containers with the Docker socket mounted. To re-run the verification, use the `/testcontainers-guides-migrator` skill included in this PR (`.claude/skills/testcontainers-guides-migrator/SKILL.md`). The skill's Step 6 documents the exact container commands and macOS Docker Desktop workarounds (host override, docker-java API version, etc.) needed to run each language's tests: ``` /testcontainers-guides-migrator I want you to verify all the guides in this branch. Do a full review, verifying that all code snippets compile, the code is executable, and ALL the tests pass. Run them as docker containers, never locally. ``` ## Related issues or tickets Supersedes #24450 (expanded from 2 guides to all 19) ## Reviews - [ ] Technical review - [ ] Editorial review - [ ] Product review --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Initialize the project
Start by creating a Python project with a virtual environment:
$ mkdir tc-python-demo
$ cd tc-python-demo
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
This guide uses psycopg3 to interact with the Postgres database, pytest for testing, and testcontainers-python for running a PostgreSQL database in a container.
Install the dependencies:
$ pip install "psycopg[binary]" pytest testcontainers[postgres]
$ pip freeze > requirements.txt
The pip freeze command generates a requirements.txt file so that others
can install the same package versions using pip install -r requirements.txt.
Create the database helper
Create a db/connection.py file with a function to get a database connection:
import os
import psycopg
def get_connection():
host = os.getenv("DB_HOST", "localhost")
port = os.getenv("DB_PORT", "5432")
username = os.getenv("DB_USERNAME", "postgres")
password = os.getenv("DB_PASSWORD", "postgres")
database = os.getenv("DB_NAME", "postgres")
return psycopg.connect(f"host={host} dbname={database} user={username} password={password} port={port}")
Instead of hard-coding the database connection parameters, the function uses environment variables. This makes it possible to run the application in different environments without changing code.
Create the business logic
Create a customers/customers.py file and define the Customer class:
class Customer:
def __init__(self, cust_id, name, email):
self.id = cust_id
self.name = name
self.email = email
def __str__(self):
return f"Customer({self.id}, {self.name}, {self.email})"
Add a create_table() function to create the customers table:
from db.connection import get_connection
def create_table():
with get_connection() as conn:
with conn.cursor() as cur:
cur.execute("""
CREATE TABLE customers (
id serial PRIMARY KEY,
name varchar not null,
email varchar not null unique)
""")
conn.commit()
The function obtains a database connection using get_connection() and creates
the customers table. The with statement automatically closes the connection
when done.
Add the remaining CRUD functions:
def create_customer(name, email):
with get_connection() as conn:
with conn.cursor() as cur:
cur.execute(
"INSERT INTO customers (name, email) VALUES (%s, %s)", (name, email))
conn.commit()
def get_all_customers() -> list[Customer]:
with get_connection() as conn:
with conn.cursor() as cur:
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM customers")
return [Customer(cid, name, email) for cid, name, email in cur]
def get_customer_by_email(email) -> Customer:
with get_connection() as conn:
with conn.cursor() as cur:
cur.execute("SELECT id, name, email FROM customers WHERE email = %s", (email,))
(cid, name, email) = cur.fetchone()
return Customer(cid, name, email)
def delete_all_customers():
with get_connection() as conn:
with conn.cursor() as cur:
cur.execute("DELETE FROM customers")
conn.commit()
Note
To keep it straightforward for this guide, each function creates a new connection. In a real-world application, use a connection pool to reuse connections.
