Check the testing codes in the PR https://github.com/hantsy/symfony-rest-sample/blob/5e7d022e62d046933ff8117a7370e3842ca9c20b/tests/Repository/PostRepositoryTestWithTestcontainers.php

Http\Client\Socket\Exception\ConnectionException: Unable to find the socket transport "unix" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

...vendor\php-http\socket-client\src\Client.php:117

@hantsy I couldn't reproduce the issue. This code works well:

 $container = new PostgresContainer('16');
  $container->withPostgresDatabase('blogdb');
  $container->withPostgresUser('user');
  $container->withPostgresPassword('password');
  $container->withExposedPorts("5432");
  $container->start();

Make sure your PHP installation has php-sockets enabled. Without it, Testcontainers-PHP cannot connect to the default Docker socket (unix:///var/run/docker.sock).
See: https://www.php.net/manual/en/sockets.installation.php

If you are running Windows or don't have Unix socket support, you can try switch to TCP by setting the DOCKER_HOST environment variable:
