Reusable containers documentation #2555

Conversation

In addition to my question on Slack (https://testcontainers.slack.com/archives/C9EJ7TVT7/p1586615207007900) I created a small documentation showing what reusable containers are and how to use them.

I did take many parts directly from Sergei's pull request #1781 since it describes many parts pretty good. I hope that is okay, otherwise I will re-write those parts.

As requested in the Slack conversation, I added (ALPHA) to the page title and added a box at the top. I think that should be sufficient to make clear, that this is an alpha feature.

There are some places where was I was not completely sure. I added // TODO comments there. Please check them and tell me what you think. I will remove them when they are done.

Why is this closed? I didn't find the relevant information in documentation. It's all trial and error.

@rnorth @bsideup @kiview can we get this re-opened and merged to master please? I think a lot of people have use for this and there's no live docs for it currently.

For those who needs to enable container reusage programmaticaly, e.g. for a test/stage tests when you can't modify home directory, you can use
TestcontainersConfiguration.getInstance().updateUserConfig("testcontainers.reuse.enable", "true");
P.S. If this is breaking a low, I'm sorry, let me know :)

@frankiedrake While we would not officially advertise this usage, feel free to use it if at your own risk it works for your use case. Note that this will also result in the .testcontainers.properties file being written/updated.
