Equivalent of docker run?

[dmurat]

I would like to run a container in a similar way to docker run. As I understand, for this purpose, in Testcontainers for Java, there is One shot startup strategy available. Is there something similar in Testcontainers for Node?

Hi @dmurat. That's interesting I haven't heard of the One shot startup strategy being referred to as a docker run equivalent before, but I see why it is. This startup strategy doesn't yet exist in testcontainers-node.

However you can achieve the same outcome quite easily:

const container = await new GenericContainer("alpine")
  .withCommand("echo hello world")
  .start()

In this case the container will run the command and exit.

Thank you. This is very helpful for me.
