mockserver container times out occasionally on Apple M1

It happens intermittently, likely because the container is amd64 and doesn’t seem to be updated any more:

I think the only solution is for the testcontainers to provide a native aarch64 container.

FYI the images are provided by the technologies, not us. See https://github.com/mock-server/mockserver/issues/819 and consider sharing your feedback there 👍

No. The failure is non-deterministic and related to the poor reliability of the QEMU emulation. I think the only solution is for the testcontainers to provide a native aarch64 container.
