Research direction
Investigate how JDBC URLs are currently parsed in the Testcontainers library, likely in classes like JdbcDatabaseContainer or similar. Look at the existing support for Docker images and propose adding a custom image option. Check comments in the issue for specific requirements. Consider how to handle custom registries and authentication.
