## What it is
Selenoid is a lightweight Selenium Hub replacement that launches browsers inside Docker containers, providing an isolated, scalable, self-hosted Selenium Grid via a single Go binary. It supports live browser screens via VNC, session video recording, per-session logs, and usage statistics.

## Use cases
- run selenium tests in isolated browser containers
- self-host a scalable selenium grid
- record videos of browser test sessions
- view live browser screen during automated tests
- replace selenium server with a lightweight alternative
- run cross-browser tests in parallel with docker

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, fast selenium grid with low memory footprint
- you want browser isolation and reproducibility via docker containers
- you need VNC live view, video recording, and session logs out of the box

## When to avoid
- the project is officially unmaintained - consider Aerokube Moon or Selenium Grid instead
- you need long-term support or recent browser updates
- you don't use Docker and can't manage browser images yourself
