Context
I've just found about testContainers, a library which can start docker containers and I wanted to test it writing a simple test inside Intellij.
Problem
The problem is that when i run the configuration in Intellij, the code throws Exception because running docker instructions need sudo permissions.
23:18:52.180 [main] DEBUG org.testcontainers.dockerclient.DockerClientProviderStrategy - EnvironmentAndSystemPropertyClientProviderStrategy: failed with exception InvalidConfigurationException (ping failed)

Tried to add current user to docker group
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Still i can't run the app inside in Intellij, even if i start it with sudo.
Working alternative
Use sudo mvn test directly where i have the pom.
Question:
Can I make it work inside Intellij?
