Testcontainer does not detect custom docker sock location #5047
Description
I have docker environment configured using Lima.
limactl start docker.yaml
Followed by docker run hello-world
works good and sample docker container is working good.
To make Testcontainer to point to new docker location, I added the following config to testcontainer.properties
docker.client.strategy=org.testcontainers.dockerclient.EnvironmentAndSystemPropertyClientProviderStrategy
docker.host=unix:///Users/user/.lima/docker/sock/docker.sock
I also added the above config to /Users/user/.testcontainer.properties as well.
Once I start the container, I get the below logs
09:46:56.354 [main] DEBUG org.testcontainers.utility.TestcontainersConfiguration - Testcontainers configuration overrides will be loaded from file:[/Users/venkavis/Desktop/new_github/nimble-notification-service/target/test-classes/testcontainers.properties]()

The log says it successfully loaded configuration from testcontainer.properties file but actually its running org.testcontainers.dockerclient.DockerClientProviderStrategy instead of org.testcontainers.dockerclient.EnvironmentAndSystemPropertyClientProviderStrategy.
Can someone help me what config I am missing here? Or the logs are shown wrongly?

From the logs:
DockerClientProviderStrategyis the log category. Also, what you experience withlimactl startis Docker Context - this is Docker CLI's feature that Testcontainers knowns nothing about because it does not use Docker CLI.See more info here:
