Dockerfile example on how to "assemble" together Selenium (with support for Chrome, Firefox and PhantomJS), Python and Xfvb.

Information

Recent struggle with finding a docker image for Selenium that supports headless versions for both Firefox and Chrome, led to the process of building my own version.

The image is build with the following dependencies:

• latest Chrome and chromedriver
• latest Firefox and geckodriver
• latest stable PhantomJS webkit (v2.1.1)
• Selenium
• Python 3
• Xvfb and the python wrapper - pyvirtualdisplay

Running:

• docker

  docker build -t selenium_docker .
  docker run --privileged -p 4000:4000 -d -it selenium_docker 
  

• docker-compose

  docker-compose stop && docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d
  

Example

from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
from selenium import webdriver

display = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 600))
display.start()

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('https://www.google.com/')
print(browser.title)

browser.quit()
display.stop()

Detailed examples on how to use Firefox with custom profile, Google Chrome with desired options or PhantomJS can be found in the source.
