Usage

The blueimp/chromedriver image starts a chromedriver server on port 4444, which runs Webdriver tests with Google Chrome in a virtual X Window System.

Sample docker-compose configuration:

version: "3.7"
services:
  chromedriver:
    image: blueimp/chromedriver
    # Mount the /tmp partition as tmpfs:
    tmpfs: /tmp
    environment:
      # Enable the VNC server:
      - ENABLE_VNC=true
      # Expose the X Window Server via TCP:
      - EXPOSE_X11=true
    volumes:
      # Mount the host ./assets directory into the container:
      - ./assets:/home/webdriver/assets:ro
    ports:
      # Expose the VNC server on port 5900 on localhost:
      - 127.0.0.1:5900:5900

Please have a look at the blueimp/wdio project for a complete configuration example.

Tags

For any critical infrastructure (e.g. your company's Continuous Integration tests) it is strongly recommended to use your own tagged Docker images instead of blueimp/chromedriver directly, as changes in the included Software (see e.g. ChromeDriver issue #3857) might break your tests inadvertently. For example:

version: "3.7"
services:
  chromedriver:
    image: YOUR_ORG/chromedriver:2021-09-27
    # ...

For full control, you should also set up a build for your own version of blueimp/basedriver and edit the parent image reference at the start of the Dockerfile in this repository accordingly, e.g.:

FROM YOUR_ORG/basedriver:2021-09-27

Software

The following software is included in the blueimp/chromedriver image:

• blueimp/basedriver (base image)
• ChromeDriver (latest)
• Google Chrome (latest)

The blueimp/chromedriver image provided on Docker hub will be occasionally updated to incorporate changes in the blueimp/basedriver image as well as to upgrade to the latest versions of ChromeDriver and Google Chrome.
