Selenium on Kubernetes!

README.md

This is a quick and dirty guide on how to deploy Selenium on Kubernetes.

It is required that you have Kubernetes cluster up and running. If you don't have one, GKE is pretty nifty: https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/

Deploy the Seleniumb Hub:

kubectl create -f selenium-hub-rc.yaml
kubectl create -f selenium-hub-svc.yaml

Deploy some Firefox and Chrome pods:

kubectl create -f selenium-node-chrome-rc.yaml
kubectl create -f selenium-node-firefox-rc.yaml

Grab the Service ip or nodeport:

kubectl describe service selenium-hub

Then it should be on serviceip:4444 or kube-host:nodeport/

If you need more Firefox or Chrome nodes, your hardware is the limit:

kubectl scale rc selenium-node-firefox --replicas=10
kubectl scale rc selenium-node-chrome --replicas=10

To check on one of the browser nodes via VNC, you may have to proxy depending on your kube setup:

kubectl port-forward -p <POD_NAME> 9000:5900

Then connect to localhost:9000 with your VNC client.

TODO: Figure out healthcheck for the nodes.

How we can share volumes between nodes and hub in kubernetes? I need to download some of the files during the test and that will be accessible from another node.

@hisrarul The best way to share files in Kubernetes is with an object store such as S3 or GCS.
