In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Selenoid, a modern Selenium framework for parallel browser testing, on OpenSUSE.
Before we begin, you should have the following:
The first step is to download the Selenoid image into your system. You can download the Selenoid latest image by running the following command:
docker pull selenoid/latest
This command will download the Selenoid image from the Docker Hub repository.
Next, you must create a configuration file for Selenoid to specify the browsers you want to use for testing. You can create a configuration file by running the following command:
$ cat > selenoid.json <<EOF
{
"firefox": {
"default": "latest",
"versions": {
"87.0": {
"image": "selenoid/firefox:87.0",
"port": "4444"
}
}
},
"chrome": {
"default": "latest",
"versions": {
"89.0": {
"image": "selenoid/chrome:89.0",
"port": "4444"
}
}
}
}
EOF
This configuration file specifies the Firefox and Chrome versions to use for testing.
Now that you have the Selenoid image and configuration file, you can start Selenoid using the following command:
docker run -d --name selenoid -p 4444:4444 \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v `pwd`:/etc/selenoid selenoid/latest \
-conf /etc/selenoid/selenoid.json
This command will start Selenoid as a Docker container and map the container's port 4444 to the host machine port 4444. It will also mount the /etc/selenoid directory on the host machine to the container's /etc/selenoid directory.
To verify that Selenoid is running correctly, you can navigate to http://localhost:4444/status in your web browser. You should see a JSON response indicating that Selenoid is running.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Selenoid on OpenSUSE Latest. You are now ready to start using Selenoid for your browser testing needs.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
