Building your own images

These docker containers provided by SeleniumHQ are designed with the intention of you, the user, building your own images if you need more finely tuned specifications.

By default, the docker containers are released with the intention to be used right out-of-the-gate with a stable ChromeDriver version, GeckoDriver version, Firefox and Chrome versions that are copacetic.

How to

You are able to utilize our Makefile to build your own images with your own finely tuned configurations.

Specify ChromeDriver and Chrome versions

$ BUILD_ARGS="--build-arg CHROME_DRIVER_VERSION=2.23 --build-arg CHROME_VERSION=google-chrome-beta=53.0.2785.92-1" make chrome chrome_debug standalone_chrome
#=> builds all chrome images with specific versioning of ChromeDriver, and Chrome.  (NOTE: these versions specified *MUST* be compatible, otherwise you will see errors.

Specify Firefox version

$ BUILD_ARGS="--build-arg FIREFOX_VERSION=49.0.2" make firefox firefox_debug standalone_firefox
#=> builds all Firefox images with a specific version of Firefox.  (NOTE: 3.0.0 introduces GeckoDriver, and might need to be specified as well
# You can also build the Firefox images with the Nightly build
$ BUILD_ARGS="--build-arg FIREFOX_VERSION=nightly" make firefox firefox_debug standalone_firefox

Or if you want to build the images using plain old docker commands...

$ docker build -t my-firefox-image --build-arg FIREFOX_VERSION=48.0.1 NodeFirefox
#=> build the node-firefox image with a specific firefox version.
$ docker build -t my-chrome-image --build-arg CHROME_DRIVER_VERSION=2.23 --build-arg CHROME_VERSION=google-chrome-beta=53.0.2785.92-1 NodeChromeDebug
#=> build the node-chrome-debug image with a specific chromedriver and chrome version.

NOTE: The Selenium docker tags that are provided will be tested with appropriate versions that are compatible with one other. By building your own images with specific versions, you may run into situations where the ChromeDriver version you are using is NOT compatible with the Chrome version you are using. If you run into these issues, please do not file an issue in this repository.
