Thank you @JonasPammer & Great Work Around!
My only concern is not cleaning up the recordings - can we clean those up unless some setting is set? Otherwise, running grails tests locally will constantly add more recordings.

@JonasPammer Thank you for working on this. |
And also, do not use an external url in the test.

The system property `grails.geb.recording.restartRecordingContainerPerTest` was explicitly set to `true` for tests, but this is now the default behavior, so the explicit setting is no longer needed.
Delete all but the two most recent recording directories as part of the build to avoid unnecessary disk usage.

Original, Upstream Open Issue: testcontainers/testcontainers-java#3998
The other upstream solution that was suggested, i.e. testcontainers/testcontainers-java#577, seemed way out of bound / too big of a change (that also relies on internals and commands, i.e. volitale to flv.py changes) to hack into here
i also tried a non-reflection attempt, i.e. to manage an own vnc and disable the container's interbound one -- https://gitkraken.dev/link/drafts/3d723754-a136-45c9-bb6f-8cad74600a88?type=patch. but decided to commit this here for comments.
i know reflection code will have a low chance. but at least this also contains a test one could add with Spock-Annotation of "Fails right now".
Edit: Closes #14331
