Cannot install Selenium chromedriver in a Docker Container

Question

I'm using this Dockerfile to install Selenium chromedriver in a Docker container:

FROM python:3.8

# install google chrome
RUN wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -
RUN sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list'
RUN apt-get -y update
RUN apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable

# install chromedriver
RUN apt-get install -yqq unzip
RUN wget -O /tmp/chromedriver.zip http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/`curl -sS chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE`/chromedriver_linux64.zip
RUN unzip /tmp/chromedriver.zip chromedriver -d /usr/local/bin/

ENV DISPLAY=:99

COPY . /app

WORKDIR /app

RUN pip install --upgrade pip

RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

RUN chmod 755 ./run.sh

ENTRYPOINT ["/app/run.sh"]

I already used this Dockerfile some time ago and everything worked fine. Now, I'm getting this error when I run:

docker build -t container .

The error while building:

Which is the problem here?

Answer 1

Why not just use an already existing image that does excatly that, as your starting point? For example, this looks like a functional docker image for chrome and python:
