When I run the example from the Docker doc in the "Viewing our web application container" section, i.e.,
docker run -d -P training/webapp python app.py
...I'm able to view the "Hello World" output in a browser. Success. This seems to indicate that the network I'm on may not be the problem.
Now I'm trying to view a container that runs a webdriver suite (test automation of a browser). Based on the output in docker logs -f, the webdriver suite runs to completion. But when I try to point a browser at the webdriver container (which is running the browser), I get a error saying:
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Here are the steps I'm following:
Start webdriver container with this command
docker run -d -p 8080:5000 "/bin/bash" "-c" "/dir1/dir2/filename.sh $PARAMETER1 $PARAMETER2"
point a browser to:
http://subdomain.mydomain.com:5000
Docker output:
user#server$ docker ps -l
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES

user#server$ docker inspect --format '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' 2fa83fc0401a

Other info:
Server config: Ubuntu 14.04
Docker version: 1.8.1, build d12ea79
I've reviewed the following questions but I'm not running on a VM and I'm not running NodeJS.
Unable to view rails app running in docker container from browser
Docker: Unable to specify port for a running container
Does anyone have suggestions on how I might troubleshoot this problem? Any assistance gratefully accepted.

Update 1:
Based on the NodeJS question noted above, I'm thinking that I'm not setting a port correctly in the Dockerfile. Maybe this is as simple as setting the correct port for Selenium?
Update 2: as #hunter noted, I had the ports in the wrong order, but switching the ports does not resolve the problem. I think the bigger problem is that I was assigning the wrong port. So, I changed docker run -d -p 8080:5000 to docker run -d -P. When I did that, I got the following output:
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS
f375251b61d7 65525ab9ad78 "/bin/bash -c '/opt/y" About an hour ago Up About an hour 0.0.0.0:33073->2222/tcp
I then pointed the browser to that port: http://subdomain.mydomain.com:33073
But I still get the same error: ERR CONNECTION REFUSED
I think you're using the wrong port - the external port is 8080 not 5000.

I am rather new to docker images and am trying to set up a selenium/standalone-firefox image linked to a local folder.
I'm running Docker version 19.03.2, build 6a30dfc on Windows 10 and have unsuccessfully tried figuring out the correct working of the docker run -v syntax because it either is unspecific (i.e. too little context for me to make sense of it) or on the wrong platform).
Running docker as admin the the cmd, I used docker run -d -v LOCAL_PATH:C:\Users\Public.
This throws docker: Error response from daemon: invalid mode: \Users\Public as an error message.
I want to bind the running container to the folder C:\Users\Public (or another folder on the host machine - this is for illustration purposes).
Can someone point me to the (I fear obvious) mistake I'm making? I essentially want to achieve the container's output data (for later scraping) being stored in the host machine's folder C:\Users\Public. The container's output folder should be named myfolder.
** EDIT **
Digging around, I found this (see Volume Mapping).
I have thus tried the following code:
>docker run -d -p 4444:4444 --name selenium-hub selenium/hub
>docker run -d --link selenium-hub:hub -v C:/Users/Public:/home/seluser/Downloads selenium/node-chrome
while the former works fine (it only runs the container), the latter throws the error:
docker: Error response from daemon: Drive has not been shared.
Docker for Windows (and Mac) require you to share drives to be able to volume mount - https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/ (Under Shared drives).
You should be able to find it under your Docker Settings > Shared Drives. Ensure your C:\ is selected and restart the daemon. After that, you can run:
docker run -d --link selenium-hub:hub -v C:/Users/Public:/home/seluser/Downloads selenium/node-chrome
base on the documation:
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium
this path does not exist in container and its linux container.
"C:\Users\Public\Documents\TMP_DOCKERS\firefox selenium/standalone-firefo"
I'm starting my custom docker container (OpenSuse, PHP, Apache, some add-ons) this way:
docker build --build-arg http_proxy=http://user:pwd#ip:port -t prefix/myapp myapp
create --name=myapp --hostname=myapp-p 80:80 -v ${PWD}/myapp:/srv/www/myapp prefix/myapp
docker start myapp
This works perfectly. I can stop and later start the container. However, if I reboot my host system (Windows 10), I'm not able to start the container again. When I try to, the container immediately exits.
How can this be? As stated above, I use the -p and -v flags to map ports and mount a directory.
This is the output of...
docker logs myapp
-> httpd (pid 1) already running
May or may not be your problem (the logs will be telling), but I ran into an issue with docker on windows where the container tries to start before the file system is ready, which causes an error with the volume mounts. I never found a great solution aside from running a task that verifies the volume mount and restarts the container if it failed.
My OS is Windows 10 and I am running Docker version 17.06.0-ce-win19. I am trying to set up a container so that it will restart automatically on reboot.
When I use the command:
docker run -it microsoft/nanoserver --restart=always
I’m getting the following error:
docker: Error response from daemon: container 35046c88d2564523464ecabc4d48eb0550115e33acb25b0555224e7c43d21e74 encountered an error during CreateProcess: failure in a Windows system call: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2) extra info: {"ApplicationName":"","CommandLine":"--restart=always","User":"","WorkingDirectory":"C:\","Environment":{},"EmulateConsole":true,"CreateStdInPipe":true,"CreateStdOutPipe":true,"CreateStdErrPipe":false,"ConsoleSize":[30,120]}.
whereas if I leave out the
--restart=always
everything works fine.
Is there something else I need to do to get --restart options working on Windows?

I'm new to docker. I tried executing the following docker command to created a container,
docker run -d -p 9999:80 httpd
After this, when i visited the URL http://127.0.0.1:9999/, It loads with "It works!" message. So, to change the message, I went inside the httpd container and changed the value of /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/index.html (Hope, that is the correct location) to <html><body><h1>It works at port 9999!</h1></body></html>.
But still it is showing the same old message and the weird part is it is still showing up after removing the container. Am i doing anything wrong or is this coming from any cache or something?
Please help.
Edit: I found it is due to browser cache and nothing else.
You did a modification to a running container, but if you want to see it, you have to
docker commit -t my_apache_modified
your container, and then launch your new image, with a
docker run -d -p 9999:80 my_apache_modified
see the doc
https://docs.docker.com/reference/commandline/commit/
Keep in mind that the preferred way is to modify your Dockerfile, and build a new image
I can't reproduce your error here.
Try that:
docker run -d --name httpdtest -p 9999:80 httpd
docker exec -it httpdtest bash
echo "test" >> htdocs/index.html
And try to see in your browser. (http://127.0.0.1:9999)
I'm using Selenium RC in a Ubuntu system.
I want to automate the tests, and I need to start Selenium-server.jar on startup of the machine.
I created seleniumServer.conf in /ect/init/ with:
start on startup
start on runlevel 3
respawn
exec xvfb-run java -jar /home/condde/selenium-server-1.0.3/selenium-server.jar -port 4444
When I reboot the machine, it works fine, the process is running.
But when I execute a test, the result is:
PHPUnit_Framework_Exception: Could not connect to the Selenium RC server.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I have the same problem, my process can not connect the selenium server sometimes. After dig into debug log and selenium source code, I found that's because java's SecureRandom hangs if /dev/random hangs when selenium try generate random number. So I replace /dev/random with /dev/urandom, then selenium server works fine:
sudo mv /dev/random /dev/random.real
sudo ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/random
Or you can modify $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security file and changing the property:
securerandom.source=file:/dev/random
to:
securerandom.source=file:/dev/urandom
Maybe it works, but not for me.
Use -debug to start Selenium with debug log to see if any error.
java -jar selenium-server.jar -debug > /var/log/selenium-server.log 2>&1
I did this on ubuntu 14 using npm.
First, install the selenium-standalone via npm.
sudo npm install selenium-standalone -g
sudo selenium-standalone install
Then create a symbolic link in /etc/init.d, and configure it to run.
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/selenium-standalone /etc/init.d/
sudo update-rc.d selenium-standalone defaults
Another very simple and good solution is to install selenium via docker. I have used the chrome image and it's easy as:
sudo docker run -d -p 4444:4444 selenium/standalone-chrome
The -d option makes is a daemon that will be restarted every time you start your computer. The -p option forwards the webdriver port (4444) from the docker instance to the host.
Well, it's not phantomjs, but I like chrome better anyway. There is also a firefox image! Checkout https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium for more info.
I would start the selenium server process with -log parameter to get info from the process first and all and see if it actually get any kind of connections, errors etc..
A few ideas to troubleshoot:
Do you get any response if you enter http://localhost:4444
It should render a 403 error by the Jetty engine.
If this does not work I would try with your actual IP:4444, that might indicate problem with localhost variable, proxy settings etc..
Could the firewall settings be blocking the the 4444 port? Maybe the Selenium Server process is not allowed to start the browser.
