Chrome-remote-debug docker with VNC

(Fork with VNC password support and docker-compose file)

A Google Chrome docker with VNC and chrome remote debugging enabled. The remote debugging port is exposed with the use of socat. Everything is managed by supervisord.

Running the docker image

docker-compose up

The commandline configuration for chrome can be changed by setting environment variables, default.env is loaded when no other file is configured. Note that the --build argument has to be passed to docker-compose after image changes.

Ports

• 9333: The remote-debugging port of Google Chrome is forwarded by socat
• 5900: VNC server on port 5900

Environment variables

• width (default:1920)
• height (default:1920)
• lang (default:en)
• extra_chrome_args (default:)
• vnc_password (default:password)

Important notes

• The shm-size must be set to a higher value than the default of 64mb because chrome uses this for inter process communications.
• Default password for VNC is password and can be changed in default.env file.
• The chrome sandbox is disabled because the chrome sandbox interferes with the Docker sandbox
