I adapted this to fetch the latest version of chrome driver appropriate for the chrome installation, rather than having a fixed value. Here's the snippet I use for installing:
RUN apt-get update && \ apt-get install -y gnupg wget curl unzip --no-install-recommends && \ wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add - && \ echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list && \ apt-get update -y && \ apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable && \ CHROMEVER=$(google-chrome --product-version | grep -o "[^\.]*\.[^\.]*\.[^\.]*") && \ DRIVERVER=$(curl -s "https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_$CHROMEVER") && \ wget -q --continue -P /chromedriver "http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/$DRIVERVER/chromedriver_linux64.zip" && \ unzip /chromedriver/chromedriver* -d /chromedriver
This works perfectly !!! 🚀
Thank you so much @JoaRiski
I need this code for GCP as app engine that automatically run the chrome driver as Docker . I put this code but still has error. what should I put the path for chrome driver?
@robertkhaldar I am having the same issue, I am able to run the dockerfile and I reference the path (/usr/local/bin/chromedriver) in webdriver.ChromeOptions(). I still receive a "Error: Message: 'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH. Please see https://chromedriver.chromium.org/home" when executing in my function app.

To achieve the proper Google Chrome/chromedriver combination, you'll want to heed the instructions on this page: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads/version-selection
Basically, you'll want to get the latest Chrome and install it, then get the product version from that Chrome installation (google-chrome -product-version), use that version information to build the URL to get the correct chromedriver version information from chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com, allowing you to build the specific download URL for the correct chromedriver version.

@lane-eb Thank you
This ^^ approach will not work for the long term. If you were to install Google Chrome on most platforms today, your version would be 101.xxx.xxx.xxx -- a version 97 chromedriver won't work with today's Chrome without having to re-determine the chromedriver version and update the Dockerfile accordingly.
Currently, I do this:
RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get install -y gnupg wget curl unzip --no-install-recommends && \
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add - && \

Update: I dug into the problem a little bit more and figured out that the command only does not work on my Docker instance running on my M1 Mac. I guess it has to do with this?
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1383789/install-chrome-on-ubuntu-debian-with-arm64
The command still works on docker instances on other devices. 👍
@bjarneschroeder :
That seems likely. You can likely locally amend the solution to be geared toward Chromium, specifically these two lines:
apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable && \
CHROME_VERSION=$(google-chrome --product-version | grep -o "[^\.]*\.[^\.]*\.[^\.]*") && \
...having the first of the two install Chromium and the second to use the Chromium executable to yield the product version. I haven't explored this locally but exchanging Chromium for Chrome ought to work.
I adapted this to fetch the latest version of chrome driver appropriate for the chrome installation, rather than having a fixed value. Here's the snippet I use for installing:
RUN apt-get update && \ apt-get install -y gnupg wget curl unzip --no-install-recommends && \ wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add - && \ echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list && \ apt-get update -y && \ apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable && \ CHROMEVER=$(google-chrome --product-version | grep -o "[^\.]*\.[^\.]*\.[^\.]*") && \ DRIVERVER=$(curl -s "https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_$CHROMEVER") && \ wget -q --continue -P /chromedriver "http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/$DRIVERVER/chromedriver_linux64.zip" && \ unzip /chromedriver/chromedriver* -d /chromedriver
@JoaRiski Epic. Thank you for sharing.
If you have M1 Mac, you have to build with docker build --platform linux/amd64 ....
UPD: this is relevant only for chrome versions less than 115
You can get the latest ChromeDriver version number with the following command chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE:
RUN DRIVER_VERSION=$(curl -sS chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE) && \
wget https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/$DRIVER_VERSION/chromedriver_linux64.zip && \
unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip -d /usr/bin/ && rm chromedriver_linux64.zip && chmod +x /usr/bin/chromedriver
Yes, that's true. The point is that the Chrome browser and chromedriver need to be compatible. Simply grabbing the latest of both does not absolutely guarantee that.

I need DockerFile configuration for Linux. APT-GET is not supported by Linux.
I need DockerFile configuration for Linux. APT-GET is not supported by Linux.
apt-get is the command-line tool for handling packages, and may be considered the user's
"back-end" to other tools using the APT library. Several "front-end" interfaces exist,
such as aptitude, synaptic and wajig.
It is only available on Linux.
Use Ubuntu as the base docker image.
Hi Team,
How to add the latest "chrome for testing" browser and driver in the docker file.
Can you please provide the sample code?
Thanks.
I’m trying to run a container that consists of a python script that uses Selenium. Because of that I also need chromium and chromedriver right?
I'm struggling with this one. On top of that I’m building it using an M1 mac. :/
Any help? None of the above solutions works for me
I solved the compatibility problem by updating the link for the driver. I got the new link from docker hub.
Now this should definitely work:
RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends gnupg wget curl unzip && \
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add - && \
echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list && \
apt-get update -y && \
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends google-chrome-stable && \
apt-get clean && \
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /var/cache/apt/* && \
CHROME_VERSION=$(google-chrome --product-version) && \
wget -q --continue -P /chromedriver "https://edgedl.me.gvt1.com/edgedl/chrome/chrome-for-testing/$CHROME_VERSION/linux64/chromedriver-linux64.zip" && \
unzip /chromedriver/chromedriver* -d /usr/local/bin/ && \
rm -rf /chromedriver
However, it's still possible to get this error:
selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: Chrome failed to start: exited normally.
(session not created: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
If this is the case it has nothing to do with the chrome installations but rather the instantiation of the driver inside your actual code. What you need to do is add some options to your webdriver instance. Here's how it's done in python:
options = selenium.webdriver.chrome.options.Options()
options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage') ### optional
driver = selenium.webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
Although that last option is not strictly necessary, a lot of sources recommend it. ChatGPT has this to say:
What Does --disable-dev-shm-usage Do?
When you use --disable-dev-shm-usage, Chrome will not use /dev/shm but fall back to using /tmp for its shared memory. Since /tmp is disk-based in most setups, it's generally slower but more reliable when you're running in environments with limited shared memory.
So, in essence, the flag makes Chrome's behavior a bit more reliable at the expense of some performance, making it useful when running in a restricted environment like a Docker container.
I hope this was helpful
The code from @mgtezak didn't work for me, but I tweaked it a little bit, I had to find the newest driver version for my version of Chrome like so:
CHROME_VERSION=$(google-chrome --product-version | cut -d '.' -f 1-3) && \
DRIVER_VERSION=$(curl -s "https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/LATEST_RELEASE_$CHROME_VERSION") && \
wget -q --continue -P /chromedriver "https://edgedl.me.gvt1.com/edgedl/chrome/chrome-for-testing/$DRIVER_VERSION/linux64/chromedriver-linux64.zip"
I'm not quite sure if I'm right, since I'm still trying to solve the problem here.
However, just to raise another point for someone else, I don't agree with @mgtezak's point.
I've got an below error as he mentioned,
selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: Chrome failed to start: exited normally.
(session not created: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
but I think the problem is not about the actual code in Python.
Here are the points
- the google chrome version installed through
apt-get install google-chrome-stableis, as of now, 119.xxx something - driver I can get through the command
...chrome-for-testing/$CHROME_VERSION/linux64/chromedriver-linux64.zipdoesn't work as mentioned in the replies above(it only works for version older than 115.xxx) - so I tried to install the driver manually with a version 114.xxx something
- then, it seems like they are all installed, but it crashes when the actual Python code tries to establish the driver
- and this is where I got the
ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.error - and this is because the version of installed google chrome is 119.xxx something and the driver is 114.xxx something
- and this is where I got the
- so the whole point is we should find a way to install a fixed version of google chrome, rather than
apt-get install google-chrome-stable, and that fixed version should be available in the API to get the driver
Ok, so now I've figured it out myself and here is how I did it.
I referenced @Anil86's command, since it was easier to debug when the error had occured.

RUN wget --no-verbose -O /tmp/chrome.deb https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_${CHROME_VERSION}_amd64.deb \
&& apt install -y /tmp/chrome.deb \
&& rm /tmp/chrome.debotherwise you will run into an error: 0.184 /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected if you run the code as is.
Thank you @Foundsheep for your solution, worked well for me!
