Features

Scalability

By default selenosis starts with 2 replica sets. To change it, edit selenosis deployment file: 03-selenosis.yaml

apiVersion: apps/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: selenosis
  namespace: selenosis
spec:
  replicas: 2
  selector:
...

by using kubectl

kubectl scale deployment selenosis -n selenosis --replicas=3

Stateless

When a new session request is received, selenosis creates a pod with 2 containers, one is a browser and the second is a lightweight sidecar called seleniferous. Seleniferous proxies all requests to the browser and replaces original sessionId returned by the browser with pod hostname. All other requests received by selenosis just proxied to the existing pod by using sessionId and headless service as a hostname.

Hot config reload

Selenosis supports hot config reload, to do so update you configMap

kubectl edit configmap -n selenosis selenosis-config -o yaml

UI for debug

Selenosis itself doesn't have ui. If you need such functionality you can use selenoid-ui with special adapter container. Deployment steps and minifests you can find in selenosis-deploy repository.

Configuration

Selenosis can run any docker image with browser but best work with images debeloped by Aerokube:

Basic config

To start browsers in kubernetes cluster you will need config, config can be JSON or YAML file.
Browser name and browser version shoud be passed via selenium desired capabilities.
Basic configuration is be like (all fields in this example are mandatory):

{
    "chrome": {
        "defaultVersion": "85.0",
        "path": "/",
        "versions": {
            "85.0": {
                "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0"
            },
            "86.0": {
                "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0"
            }
        }
    },

            }
        }
    },

    "opera" : {
        "defaultVersion": "70.0",
        "path": "/",
        "versions": {
            "70.0": {
                "image": "selenoid/vnc:opera_70.0"
            },
            "71.0": {
                "image": "selenoid/vnc:opera_71.0"
            }
        }
    }
}

  defaultVersion: "85.0"
  path: "/"
  versions:
    '85.0':

Each browser type can have default spec/meta sections, same is applied to individual browser versions. Some properties like annotations and labels will be merged to specific browser version, others like resources stay unchanged(can't be overriden). Specific browser version properties have a higher priority on merge.

Managing Resources

CPU and Memory limits can be set globally to specific browser type or individually to specific browser version.
In the example below chrome browser v86.0 pod will be launched with resource limits that are set globally and browser v85.0 pod will be launched with individual resource limits that are set in browser version spec section.

{
  "chrome": {
    "defaultVersion": "85.0",
    "path": "/",
    "spec": {
      "resources": {
        "requests": {
          "memory": "500Mi",
          "cpu": "0.5"
        },
        "limits": {
          "memory": "1Gi",
          "cpu": "1"
        }
      }
    },

        }
      },
      "86.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0"
      }

Labels and annotations

Labels and annotations are supported by config and can be added globally or individually depends on your requirements.

{
  "chrome": {
    "defaultVersion": "85.0",
    "path": "/",
    "meta": {
      "labels": {
        "environment": "aqa",

          app: veryCoolApp

Adding Host Aliases

You can add the host name and aliases to /etc/hosts file by using hostAliases property.

{
  "chrome": {
    "defaultVersion": "85.0",
    "path": "/",
    "spec": {
      "hostAliases": [
        {
          "ip": "127.0.0.1",
          "hostnames": [
            "foo.local",
            "bar.local"
          ]
        }
      ]
    },
    "versions": {
      "85.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0",
      "spec": {
        "hostAliases": [
          {
            "ip": "10.1.2.3",
            "hostnames": [
            "foo.remote",
            "bar.remote"
            ]

      },
      },
      "86.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0"
      }
    }
  }
}

---
chrome:
  defaultVersion: "85.0"
  path: "/"
  spec:
    hostAliases:
    - ip: 127.0.0.1
      hostnames:
      - foo.local
      - bar.local
  versions:
    '85.0':
      image: selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0
    spec:
      - ip: 10.1.2.3
        hostnames:
        - foo.remote
        - bar.remote
    '86.0':
      image: selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0

Environment Variables

You can set environment variables for browser pods. To set environment variables, include the env in the configuration file.

{
  "chrome": {
    "defaultVersion": "85.0",
    "path": "/",
    "spec": {
      "env": [
        {
          "name": "TZ",
          "value": "Europe/Kiev"
        },
        {
          "name": "SCREEN_RESOLUTION",
          "value": "1920x1080x24"
        },
        {
          "name": "ENABLE_VNC",
          "value": "true"
        }
      ]
    },
    "versions": {
      "85.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0",
        "spec": {
          "env": [
            {
              "name": "SCREEN_RESOLUTION",
              "value": "1024x768x24"
            }
          ]
        }
      },
      "86.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0"
      }
    }
  }
}

  defaultVersion: "85.0"
  path: "/"
  spec:
    env:
    - name: TZ
      value: Europe/Kiev
    - name: SCREEN_RESOLUTION
      value: 1920x1080x24
    - name: ENABLE_VNC
      value: 'true'
  versions:
    '85.0':
      image: selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0
    spec:
      env:
      - name: SCREEN_RESOLUTION
        value: 1024x768x24
    '86.0':
      image: selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0

Mounting volumes to a browser pod

If you need a directory with a data that is accessible to the browser use volume and volumeMount properties in your config

{
  "chrome": {
    "defaultVersion": "85.0",
    "path": "/",
    "volumes": [
      {
        "name": "simple-vol",
        "emptyDir": {}
      }
    ],
    "versions": {
      "85.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0",
        "spec": {
          "volumeMounts": [
            {
              "name": "simple-vol",
              "mountPath": "/var/simple"
            }
          ]
        }
      },
      "86.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0"
      }
    }
  }
}

---
chrome:
  defaultVersion: '85.0'
  path: /
  volumes:
    - name: simple-vol
      emptyDir: {}
  versions:
    '85.0':
      image: 'selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0'
    spec:
      volumeMounts:
        - name: simple-vol
          mountPath: /var/simple
    '86.0':
      image: 'selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0'

Assigning Browsers to Nodes

You can constrain a browser pods to only be able to run on particular node(s), or to prefer to run on particular nodes. To do so add a nodeSelector property to your configuration.

{
  "chrome": {
    "defaultVersion": "85.0",
    "path": "/",
    "spec": {
      "nodeSelector": {
        "disktype": "ssd"
      }
    },
    "versions": {
      "85.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0",
        "spec": {
          "nodeSelector": {
            "nodeType": "N2D"
          }
        }
      },
      "86.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0"
      }
    }
  }
}

---
chrome:
  defaultVersion: "85.0"
  path: "/"
  spec:
    nodeSelector:
      disktype: N2D
  versions:
    '85.0':
      image: selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0
    spec:
      nodeSelector:
        nodeType: ssd
    '86.0':
      image: selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0

Node affinity

To attract browser pods to set of nodes use tolerations property

{
  "chrome": {
    "defaultVersion": "85.0",
    "path": "/",
    "spec": {
      "tolerations": [
        {
          "key": "example-key",
          "operator": "Exists",
          "effect": "NoSchedule"
        }
      ]
    },
    "versions": {
      "85.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0"
      },
      "spec": {
        "tolerations": [
          {
            "key": "key1",
            "operator": "Equal",
            "value": "value1",
            "effect": "NoSchedule"
          }
        ]
      },
      "86.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0"
      }
    }
  }
}

---
chrome:
  defaultVersion: "85.0"
  path: "/"
  spec:
    tolerations:
    - key: "example-key"
      operator: "Exists"
      effect: "NoSchedule"
  versions:
    '85.0':
      image: selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0
    spec:
      tolerations:
      - key: "key1"
        operator: "Equal"
        value: "value1"
        effect: "NoSchedule"
    '86.0':
      image: selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0

Custom UID and GID for browser pod

Browser pod can be run with custom UID and GID. To do so set runAs property for specific browser globally or per each browser version.

{
  "chrome": {
    "defaultVersion": "85.0",
    "path": "/",
    "runAs": {
      "uid": 1000,
      "gid": 2000
    },
    "versions": {
      "85.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0",
        "runAs": {
          "uid": 1001,
          "gid": 2002
        }
      },
      "86.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0"
      }
    }
  }
}

---
chrome:
  defaultVersion: '85.0'
  path: "/"
  runAs:
    uid: 1000
    gid: 2000
  versions:
    '85.0':
      image: selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0
      runAs:
        uid: 1001
        gid: 2002
    '86.0':
      image: selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0

Custom Kernel Capabilities

In some cases you may need to run browser container with custom Linux capabilities. To do so set kernelCaps property for specific browser globally or per each browser version.

{
  "chrome": {
    "defaultVersion": "85.0",
    "path": "/",
    "kernelCaps": ["SYS_ADMIN"],
    "versions": {
      "85.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0",
        "kernelCaps": ["SYS_ADMIN"]
      },
      "86.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0"
      }
    }
  }
}

---
chrome:
  defaultVersion: '85.0'
  path: "/"
  kernelCaps:
  - SYS_ADMIN
  versions:
    '85.0':
      image: selenoid/vnc:chrome_85.0
      kernelCaps:
      - SYS_ADMIN
    '86.0':
      image: selenoid/vnc:chrome_86.0

Deployment

Files and steps required for selenosis deployment available in selenosis-deploy repository

Run yout tests

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setBrowserName("chrome");
capabilities.setVersion("85.0");

RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(
   URI.create("http://<loadBalancerIP|nodeIP>:<port>/wd/hub").toURL(), 
   capabilities
);

from selenium import webdriver
      
capabilities = {
  "browserName": "chrome",
  "version": "85.0",
}

driver = webdriver.Remote(
  command_executor="http://<loadBalancerIP|nodeIP>:<port>/wd/hub",
  desired_capabilities=capabilities)

List of capabilities required for selenoid-ui compatibility:

key	type	description
enableVNC	boolean	enables VNC support
name	string	name of test
screenResolution	string	custom screen resolution

Note: you can omit browser version in your desired capabilities, make sure you set defaultVersion property in the config file.

Known issues

Browser pods are deleted right after start

Depends on you cluster version in some cases you can face with issue when some browser pods are deleted right after their start and selenosis log will contains lines like this:

time="2020-12-21T10:28:20Z" level=error msg="session failed: Post \"http://selenoid-vnc-chrome-87-0-af3177a0-5052-45be-b4e4-9462146e4633.seleniferous:4445/wd/hub/session\": dial tcp: lookup selenoid-vnc-chrome-87-0-af3177a0-5052-45be-b4e4-9462146e4633.seleniferous on 10.96.0.10:53: no such host" request="POST /wd/hub/session" request_id=fa150040-86c1-4224-9e5c-21416b1d9f5c time_elapsed=5.73s

To fix this issue do the following:

kubectl edit cm coredns -n kube-system

add following record to your coredns config

    selenosis.svc.cluster.local:53 {
        errors
        kubernetes cluster.local {
          namespaces selenosis
        }

this option will turn off dns caching for selenosis namespace, resulting config update should be as following:

apiVersion: v1
data:
  Corefile: |
    selenosis.svc.cluster.local:53 {
        errors
        kubernetes cluster.local {
          namespaces selenosis
        }
    }
    .:53 {
        errors
        health
        ready
        kubernetes cluster.local in-addr.arpa ip6.arpa {
          pods insecure
          fallthrough in-addr.arpa ip6.arpa
        }
        prometheus :9153
        forward . /etc/resolv.conf
        cache 30
        loop
        reload
        loadbalance
        import custom/*.override
    }
    import custom/*.server
