# Run chrome within a docker container

  

Dockerfile for running chrome within a docker box. VNC inclusive.

# Getting started

Build the image:

```

$ docker build -t chrome-box:latest .

```

Start the container:

```

$ docker run --rm --name chrome-box -p 5900:5900 -e VNC_SERVER_PASSWORD=somesecurepassword --user chromeuser --privileged chrome-box:latest

```

This will result in a container where:

* an X11 server is installed

* a display is emulated with the help of xvfb

* the window manager fluxbox is installed

* chrome is installed and started

* you can access the screen with VNC on port 5900 with a vnc client of your choice

# What is this all about

* This whole thing is meant as a basis to testing web applications in an isolated environment (or even integrated within a continous integration pipeline)

* SECURITY WARNING: This will run Chrome somewhat isolated from your OS, but opens a VNC Server where everyone with your super secure password can watch you browsing. Not a very good idea...
