Open mimmus opened this issue 11 months ago • 6 comments

Hi, I'm running browser-use/web-ui by Docker Compose under Windows/WSL2. Conmtainer builds and run correctly, I'm able to connecy by a web broser but it's not clear what browser it should run. Could you elaborate?

RFE: please add support for custom base_url when using OLLAMA. In my use-case, it is not hosted locally but on a remote server

what browser

Hi there. What do you mean by what browser? After building docker, you can access the app via 127.0.0.1:7788 on any browser (e.g. Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Chrome, etc.).

@mimmus Based on PR #114, you can test the base URL now. It should work.

What do you mean by what browser? Sorry, english is not my native language.

I mean what browser is ran as an agent: I don't think you can launch an external browser, using the container, or am I wrong? Can I use only internal browser in headless mode?

No problem:) In docker, you need to use VNC to get a visual from it. All the steps are written there for how to set it up. It's a Chrome-based browser. In the Use Own Browser settings, you will get your own Chrome profile (as it is you who is surfing the web) and if you haven't ticked the Use Own Browser, it will use Chromium.

Hi, Which Chromium is used ? Because I don't have it in my WSL2 and I would like to add custom certificates in this chromium launched by web-ui. Any idea how can I do that ?
