generated CircleCI config.yml for microservice fails when installing docker on CircleCI

[indiepopart]

Overview of the issue

I am working with the Reactive JHipster example from Okta. I generate the CircleCI config for the store microservice with JHipster. The generated config fails during the docker installation step on CircleCI platform. I tried to fix the docker install step, but the pipeline then fails in the backend tests step.

Motivation for or Use Case

The generated .circleci/config.yml for microservices fails on CircleCI platform.

Reproduce the error

1. Get reactive-ms.jdl
2. jhipster jdl reactive-ms.jdl
3. cd store
4. jhipster ci-cd
5. push store to a public Github repository
6. Create a CircleCI account, use github for sign up
7. Create a store project, use .circleci/config.yml from main branch
8. Execute the pipeline --> Exited with code exit status 2 on "Install docker and docler-compose" step

CircleCI error during docker install: docker-install-issue.txt CircleCI error during backend tests: container-tests-issue.txt

I changed the execution environment to VM, as docker is included and it is also adviced by Testcontainers The following config.yml worked for me:
