Components Cleanup

Managing state is challenging, especially in end-to-end testing, we use ryuk and following simple rules:

• If TESTCONTAINERS_RYUK_DISABLED=true, no cleanup occurs — containers, volumes, and networks remain on your machine.

  Feel free to use ctf d rm to remove containers when you are ready.

• If TESTCONTAINERS_RYUK_DISABLED is unset, the test environment will be automatically cleaned up a few seconds after the test completes.

Keep in mind that all components are mapped to static ports, so without cleanup, only one environment can run at a time.

This design choice simplifies debugging.

A simplified command is available to prune unused volumes, containers, and build caches. Use it when you’re running low on space on your machine.
