Docker images providing headless Chrome built on the tiny Alpine Linux base, with variants bundling Node.js, Puppeteer, Playwright, Chromedriver, and Selenoid. It enables running browser automation and web scraping workloads in minimal containers.

Use cases

  • run headless chrome in docker
  • small container image for puppeteer
  • browser automation in CI
  • scrape websites with headless chrome in alpine
  • run playwright tests in a container
  • pdf rendering with headless chrome in docker

When to choose

  • you need a minimal-footprint headless Chrome container for scraping, testing, or PDF generation
  • you want prebuilt variants with Puppeteer, Playwright, or Chromedriver already installed
  • image size matters and full Debian-based Chrome images are too heavy

When to avoid

  • you need guaranteed long-term maintenance - the maintainer has left the supporting org and images may become obsolete
  • you need Chrome on a full desktop or non-Alpine environment
  • you require official Google-maintained Chrome images with immediate version updates
