This image is only intended for development purposes! Runs a Selenium Grid Standalone with a VNC Server to allow you to visually see the browser being automated.
selenium/standalone-chrome-debug Dockerfile
$ docker run -d -p 4444:4444 -p 5900:5900 -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm selenium/standalone-chrome-debug
You can acquire the port that the VNC server is exposed to by running: (Assuming that we mapped the ports like this: 49338:5900)
$ docker port <container-name|container-id> 5900
#=> 0.0.0.0:49338In case you have RealVNC binary vnc in your path, you can always take a look, view only to avoid messing around your tests with an unintended mouse click or keyboard interrupt:
$ ./bin/vncview 127.0.0.1:49338If you are running Boot2Docker on Mac then you already have a VNC client built-in. You can connect by entering vnc://<boot2docker-ip>:49160 in Safari or Alfred
When you are prompted for the password it is secret. If you wish to change this then you should either change it in the /NodeBase/Dockerfile and build the images yourself, or you can define a docker image that derives from the posted ones which reconfigures it:
FROM selenium/node-chrome-debug-debug:3.141.59-20200525
RUN x11vnc -storepasswd <your-password-here> /home/seluser/.vnc/passwdSelenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.
Selenium has the support of some of the largest browser vendors who have taken (or are taking) steps to make Selenium a native part of their browser. It is also the core technology in countless other browser automation tools, APIs and frameworks.
See the Selenium site for documation on usage within your test code.

The first place where people ask for help about Selenium is the Official User Group. Here, you'll find that most of the time, someone already found the problem you are facing right now, and usually reached the solution for which you are looking.
Note: Please make sure to search the group before asking for something. Your question likely won't get answered if it was previously answered in another discussion!
The best place to ask for help is the user group (because they also keep the information accessible for others to read in the future). However, if you have a very important (or too simple) issue that needs a solution ASAP, you can always enter the IRC chat room. You might just find someone ready to help on #selenium at Freenode or SeleniumHQ Slack
