Requirements

You have to install Docker following the installation steps (choose your OS).

Docker Build

There are two options to build the image:

1) Building the entire image

You can build the app from this directory running:

docker build -t agomezmoron/docker-browsers .

If you want to choose a custom Firefox version and/or defining the VNC password:

docker build --build-arg FIREFOX_VERSION=47.0.1 --build-arg VNC_PASSWD=1234 - -t agomezmoron/docker-browsers .

2) Pulling from Docker

You can pull the image from Docker:

docker pull agomezmoron/docker-browsers

Docker Run

Run the image with the following command:

docker run --privileged -v /YOUR/TESTS/FOLDER:/src -t -i agomezmoron/docker-browsers

or

docker run --privileged -v /YOUR/TESTS/FOLDER:/src -d -t -i agomezmoron/docker-browsers

Important: If you are running Docker on Windwos, please check you have the shared drives enabled:

Docker Stop

Once Docker is running our image, there is a way to stop it:

• Execute docker ps and you will get the Container ID.
• Then, execute docker kill CONTAINER_ID and the Docker image will be stoped.

Cleaning untagged images

If you want to clean all the untagged images you have in your Docker you can perform:

docker rmi -f $(docker images -f "dangling=true" -q) &> /dev/null

and it will detelete all the past images of the builds, so the PC does not end up with several duplicated images. It can be removed without affecting the build.
