Selenoid

Selenoid is a powerful implementation of Selenium hub using Docker containers to launch browsers.

Features

One-command Installation

Start browser automation in minutes by copy-pasting just one command:

$ curl -s https://aerokube.com/cm/bash | bash \
    && ./cm selenoid start --vnc --tmpfs 128

That's it! You can now use Selenoid instead of Selenium server. Specify the following Selenium URL in tests:

http://localhost:4444/wd/hub

Ready to use Browser Images

No need to manually install browsers or dive into WebDriver documentation. Available images:

New images are added right after official releases. You can create your custom images with browsers.

Live Browser Screen and Logs

New rich user interface showing browser screen and Selenium session logs:

Video Recording

• Any browser session can be saved to H.264 video (example)
• An API to list, download and delete recorded video files

Lightweight and Lightning Fast

Suitable for personal usage and in big clusters:

• Consumes 10 times less memory than Java-based Selenium server under the same load
• Small 6 Mb binary with no external dependencies (no need to install Java)
• Browser consumption API working out of the box
• Ability to send browser logs to centralized log storage (e.g. to the ELK-stack)
• Fully isolated and reproducible environment
