Question: How to specify arguments when starting generic container

[connor-stewarty]

What are you trying to do?

How can I specify argument such as --privileged or --user when starting a container?

Where are you trying to do it?

I am trying to run a container with these options:

podman run -it --privileged --user 0 --rm -p 8181:80 --entrypoint /sbin/init -d registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi-init /sbin/init

I am using the DockerContainer example and I would like to add the above arguments to this:

from testcontainers.core.container import DockerContainer
from testcontainers.core.waiting_utils import wait_for_logs

with DockerContainer("hello-world") as container:

   delay = wait_for_logs(container, "Hello Podman World")

Runtime environment

I am using OpenShift DevSpaces with podman and kubedock.
