docker official dind build (docker:latest) with chromiuim - google-chrome

Question

I've been trying for the last two days to get chromuim installed and running on docker:latest docker image. (docker in docker).
I have tried multiple docker files:
from docker:latest
RUN apk add --no-cache python py2-pip curl bash chromuim ttf-freefont xvfb nodejs nodejs-npm udev
RUN curl -sSL https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash
ENV PATH $PATH:~/google-cloud-sdk/bin
RUN pip install docker-compose
RUN npm install -g #angular/cli swagger
ENV CHROME_BIN=/usr/bin/chromium-browser
This installed chrome 57, which doesn't support headless.
So I suspect I can run this with xvbf, but running this chrome fails with:
Failed to move to new namespace: PID namespaces supported, Network namespace supported, but failed: errno = Operation not permitted
[8:8:1124/085514.600081:FATAL:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(182)] Check failed: ReceiveFixedMessage(fds[0], kZygoteBootMessage, sizeof(kZygoteBootMessage), &boot_pid).
Aborted (core dumped)
So I tried to install chrome 61 (which supported headless).
But for that you need to update the Dockerfile to use edge.
I tried to upgrade / or install 61 right away. I always get fonts missing.
The closest I got was adjusting my dockerfile to use lighthose one
from docker:latest
RUN apk add --no-cache python py2-pip curl bash xvfb nodejs nodejs-npm udev
RUN curl -sSL https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash
ENV PATH $PATH:~/google-cloud-sdk/bin
RUN pip install docker-compose
RUN npm install -g #angular/cli swagger
ENV CHROME_BIN=/usr/bin/chromium-browser

#wait $chromium
wait $xvfb
Then I got another error:
Error relocating /usr/lib/chromium/chrome: FT_Set_Default_Properties: symbol not found
Not sure how to solve this, any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

you could try this link https://github.com/c0b/chrome-in-docker
It downloads a google-chrome Linux version from chrome channels, either stable, or beta, or developer version;It turns google-chrome into a headless browser,
