Testcontainers is a library that starts your test dependencies in a container and stop them after you are done using them. Testcontainers needs Docker socket access for mounting within its reaper, so I made a (for now minimal) different library that does not need Docker socket access. It also works with daemonless Podman.

What problem does this solve that test containers does not? Besides socket access?

Nothing else. Though docker socket issue was important enough.
