Closes #554.

What

Adds a way to look up the host-mapped port for a UDP (or any non-default-protocol) container port, as agreed in the issue discussion:

  • ContainerState.getMappedPort(int originalPort, InternetProtocol protocol) — new overload; the existing getMappedPort(int) now delegates to it with InternetProtocol.TCP, so behavior for existing callers is unchanged.
  • GenericContainer.addExposedPort(int port, InternetProtocol protocol) and a fluent withExposedPort(int port, InternetProtocol protocol) — lets a UDP port be exposed with a randomly assigned host port in the first place (this already existed internally on ContainerDef, just not exposed publicly on GenericContainer).

Why

Right now there's no supported way to read back the mapped host port for a UDP port that was exposed with a random host port — getMappedPort always looks up a TCP ExposedPort. This has been requested since 2019 for use cases like UDP-based protocols (e.g. Jaeger, Netflow/IPFix/sFlow collectors) where the port isn't fixed.

Testing

Added unit tests in ContainerStateTest covering:

  • a UDP binding is correctly resolved via the new overload
  • the "not mapped" error path includes the protocol in the message

I wasn't able to run the full Gradle build in the environment I prepared this in (no network access to Maven Central from there), so I'm opening this as a draft until CI confirms it builds and the test suite passes — will mark it ready for review once green.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Ports can now be exposed and mapped using either TCP or UDP, with clearer errors when a requested mapping is unavailable.
    • Added a way to retrieve the mapped port for the first exposed port, including when it uses UDP. Trying to retrieve a first mapped port when none are exposed reports an error.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Container port exposure and mapping now support explicit TCP or UDP protocols. The existing mapping method continues to use TCP. GenericContainer also provides a method to retrieve the first mapped port.

Changes

Protocol-aware container ports

Layer / File(s) Summary
Protocol-aware port exposure
core/src/main/java/org/testcontainers/containers/GenericContainer.java
GenericContainer adds protocol-specific addExposedPort and fluent withExposedPort overloads. It also adds getFirstMappedPort(), which uses the declared protocol and throws IllegalStateException when no ports are exposed.
Protocol-aware port mapping
core/src/main/java/org/testcontainers/containers/ContainerState.java, core/src/test/java/org/testcontainers/containers/ContainerStateTest.java
ContainerState adds protocol-specific mapping lookup while keeping the existing method TCP-based. Unmapped-port errors include the requested protocol. Tests cover UDP bindings and missing mappings.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: eddumelendez

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cc1ef

UDP-only containers can fail startup under the default readiness check. Resolve that path before merging. The GenericContainer first-port lookup is fixed, but the ContainerState default remains TCP-only.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to cc1ef

Callers can now expose a UDP container port and retrieve its assigned host port. The reviewed paths use the existing container-creation and port-mapping controls, with no identified bypass. Actual network reachability still depends on how callers and Docker configure the container.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The additional exposure is limited to containers for which a caller requests protocol-aware publication; whether the assigned host port is reachable by an external party depends on runtime Docker networking and the calling environment, which were not established here.
  • observed — Ryuk consumes the first mapped port but declares its own port through the existing TCP-default exposure API; the reviewed change does not make its Docker-socket-bearing container select a UDP port.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Caller-selected port and protocol pass through ContainerDef into Docker's port-binding configuration. The reviewed overload does not itself grant fixed-host-port selection; mapped-port reads require a started container and use Docker inspection.

🟡 Minor · Preserve the protocol for getFirstMappedPort. · ContainerState.java:140-143

core/src/main/java/org/testcontainers/containers/ContainerState.java:140-143
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the protocol for getFirstMappedPort.

When a GenericContainer exposes only 12345/udp, GenericContainer.getExposedPorts() converts the ExposedPort to 12345 and discards the protocol. getFirstMappedPort() then calls getMappedPort(int), which defaults to TCP. The lookup throws even when 12345/udp has a valid binding.

Implement this lookup in GenericContainer with the ExposedPort protocol, or otherwise preserve that protocol at this boundary. Callers can use getMappedPort(12345, InternetProtocol.UDP) as a workaround. Add a UDP regression test.

🟠 Major · Handle UDP-only ports in the default readiness check. · GenericContainer.java:1076-1077

core/src/main/java/org/testcontainers/containers/GenericContainer.java:1076-1077
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Handle UDP-only ports in the default readiness check.

Wait.defaultWaitStrategy() returns HostPortWaitStrategy. Without explicit ports, its liveness path first maps every exposed port through the TCP-default getMappedPort(int). A UDP-only exposure can therefore fail before readiness is checked. The legacy getLivenessCheckPort() path also remains TCP-only. Even if the mapping lookup becomes protocol-aware, the host-port strategy uses TCP socket checks, which cannot establish UDP readiness. Update the default readiness behavior and add a UDP-only startup regression test; changing only getFirstMappedPort() is insufficient.
