## pkg.skip.* flags reference

Use `-Dpkg.skip=true` to skip all packaging at once (equivalent to all four flags below).

| Flag                       | Skips                                     | Safe to skip for tests?                                      |
|----------------------------|-------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| `-Dpkg.skip=true`          | All of the below (bootjar + deb + rpm + zip) | Yes                                                       |
| `-Dpkg.skip.bootjar=true`  | `spring-boot:repackage` (`*-boot.jar`)    | Yes — tests use the regular `.jar`, not the fat boot jar     |
| `-Dpkg.skip.deb=true`      | Gradle `buildDeb` + Maven `attach-artifact` | Yes — MSA docker modules copy the DEB from `target/` directly |
| `-Dpkg.skip.rpm=true`      | Gradle `buildRpm`                         | Yes — no test depends on the RPM                             |
| `-Dpkg.skip.zip=true`      | `maven-assembly-plugin` Windows ZIP       | Yes — no test depends on the ZIP                             |

## Testcontainers compatibility with the Docker API workaround

In case your tests failed to run testcontainers due to unsupported Docker API version

:coffee: testcontainers (Docker API 1.32) + :whale: docker 29 (min API 1.44) workaround

Add to /etc/docker/daemon.json and restart docker
```json
{
  "min-api-version": "1.32"
}
```

Same works on Mac, except `daemon.json` are located in another folder and required to be edited from Docker Desktop UI.

Tip: If your testcontainer are struggling to find any Docker. You can try to remove the testcontainers property file. It will be recreated on the next testcontainers run.
```bash
rm ~/.testcontainers.properties
```
