Selenoid

This documents is about how to set up selenoid using docker images

1. Create a file in config/browser.json with below sample data. Using vnc images, so we can view the execution in vnc viewer.

   {
        "firefox": {
           "default": "latest",
           "versions": {
              "latest": {
              "image": "selenoid/vnc_firefox",
              "port": "4444",
              "path": "/wd/hub",
              "tmpfs": {
                 "/tmp": "size=512m"
              }
           }
        }
     },
        "chrome": {
           "default": "latest",
           "versions": {
              "latest": {
              "image": "selenoid/vnc_chrome",
              "port": "4444",
              "tmpfs": {
              "/tmp": "size=512m"
              }
           }
        }
     }
   }
   

2. Run compose file - docker-compose-selenoid.yml
   OR
   do below steps from 3 to 4 -------

3. Pull below images:

   1. To run test cases: docker pull aerokube/selenoid
   2. To view the execution: docker pull aerokube/selenoid-ui
   3. To record execution: docker pull selenoid/video-recorder
   4. docker pull selenoid/vnc_chrome
   5. docker pull selenoid/vnc_firefox

4. Start aerokube/selenoid

   docker run -d --name selenoid -p 4444:4444 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v PATH_TO_CONFIG_FOLDER:/etc/selenoid/:ro -v PATH_TO_VIDEO_FOLDER:/opt/selenoid/video/ -e OVERRIDE_VIDEO_OUTPUT_DIR=PATH_TO_VIDEO_FOLDER aerokube/selenoid:latest
   

   PATH_TO_CONFIG_FOLDER - where browsers.json is placed
   PATH_TO_VIDEO_FOLDER - where u want to mount the video folder of docker container
   Note: By default selenoid provides 5 parallel session. To change this add --limit=10 at the end of above command.

5. Start aerokube/selenoid-ui to view execution (optional)

   docker run --rm -d --name selenoid-ui --link selenoid -p 8090:8080 aerokube/selenoid-ui --selenoid-uri=http://selenoid:4444
   

6. That's it. Run the test execution.
