  • docker-selenium

    Provides a simple way to run Selenium Grid with Chrome, Firefox, and Edge using Docker, making it easier to perform browser automation

  • Edit: I got some parts of it running. This video is very helpful. I gave up on the official docker repository for change detection io and switched to the LSIO version. I had to first install and run the docker Selenium container (available here). I installed the standalone version of Chrome from that page. Now I added one line to the docker-compose.yml in the environment section (as mentioned in the video. I did not add BASE_URL) and that was "WEBDRIVER_URL=http://192.168.1.15:4444" (this has to be an actual IP address, can't use "localhost" or anything else. I redeployed the container and the webdriver worked.
