I already had an integration testsuite, but the way the application was run was not in full isolation, and I expect some of the setup steps I had included don't really exist on a fresh install.

We now build a fresh container image, start it up, provision it with mock data, and then run tests, but only through mechanisms that are available to a prospective server operator: CLI commands executed through SSH, and ActivityPub client to server operations.

I've been thinking about how best to do federation tests with other software like mastodon but havent been keen on maintaining a test harness around their docker images lol

This specific toot is about me working on an integration test suite using the testcontainers-go modules.
