Tutorial 31 – Create multiple chrome browser docker containers using Docker Compose
Please read the previous article before reading this one.
In this article, we will learn how to create multiple chrome browser containers using docker compose.
Let us cd to directory where we have placed .yml file
Start docker engine by double clicking docker desktop icon
Wait for the docker engine to start, the below command shows that no containers are running at present
We still have 4 docker images in our local
Open the yml file and notice that the browser name is ‘chrome’
We have to use the same name in the below command to create 2 chrome containers docker-compose up --scale chrome=2 -d
Notice below that 2 chrome containers are created
Also notice below that 2 chrome containers are running
Launch http://localhost:4444
Notice below that 2 chrome browsers are running
docker-compose down to stop containers
Notice that none of the containers are running now
Let us now create 3 firefox browser containers. The yml file has the name ‘firefox’
So let us create 3 firefox browser containers
Notice below that 3 firefox containers are running
Refresh http://localhost:4444
Notice below that 3 firefox browsers are running
So this is how we can create multiple chrome/ff/edge sessions using docker compose.
Execute docker-compose down to stop the running containers
