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).
• GenericContainer.getFirstMappedPort() now keeps the protocol of the first exposed port, so it also works when that port is UDP.
• The default liveness check skips ports exposed only as UDP, since they can't be checked with a TCP connection. Without this, a container exposing only a UDP port failed to start.

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

• ContainerStateTest: a UDP binding is resolved by the new overload, and the "not mapped" error includes the protocol (12345/udp).
• GenericContainerLivenessCheckPortsTest: a container exposing only a UDP port has no liveness check ports, and with both UDP and TCP exposed only the TCP port is checked.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Ports can be exposed and mapped using TCP or UDP, with clearer errors when a requested mapping is unavailable.
  • Retrieve the mapped port for the first exposed port, including when it uses UDP.
• Bug Fixes
  • Liveness checks no longer use UDP-only ports. When TCP ports are exposed, checks use the first TCP port while preserving explicitly bound host ports.

📝 Walkthrough

Container port exposure and mapping now support explicit TCP or UDP protocols. The existing mapping method continues to use TCP. GenericContainer adds first-mapped-port lookup and excludes UDP-only ports from liveness checks.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 23d0c

This change adds protocol-aware port exposure and mapping, and UDP-only containers no longer fail on first-mapped-port lookup or liveness checks. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains. CI results are still pending.

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.

Addressed the CodeRabbit note about UDP-only ports in the default readiness check: a container exposing only a UDP port with withExposedPort(port, InternetProtocol.UDP) failed to start, because the liveness check looked up a TCP mapping for every exposed port. UDP-only ports are now left out of the liveness check ports, and GenericContainerLivenessCheckPortsTest covers both the UDP-only and mixed TCP/UDP cases.
