We are trying to achieve two things: * Make it possible for dependabot to upgrade the containers automatically * Collect the image and version of the containers we use for testing in one place Note that the test suite will still create and start the containers programmatically, but it will read the first FROM line in each Dockerfile to extract the image and version to use. It will ignore everything else. My initial plan was to configure each container using the Dockerfile directly, but I prefer to reuse the exsisting Testcontainers classes for each database (for example, PostgreSQLContainer) because they contain out-of-the-box configuration that I would need to copy somewhere else. In any case, this is a good starting point and we can improve it later.
