AWS-Selenoid

This is a small side project to create a library which uses AWS and Selenoid to provide test infrastructure.
Selenoid can be used to provide and manage containerized browsers. It puts each browser into its own container, which can be provisioned on-demand.

Selenoid: https://github.com/aerokube/selenoid

Setup

1. Install latest NodeJS LTS.
2. Configure AWS credentials as shown in .env.example, either through dotenv or through environment variables.

How to create a custom AMI

For this project to work, a proper amazon machine image is required.
The custom AMI needs docker installed on it.

How to configure your own security group

For this project to work, a security group needs to be configured in the AWS console.
Selenoid needs port 4444 open for communication.
As a best practice opening port 20 for ssh access might also be a good idea.

Run

1. yarn watch to start TSC in watch mode.
