Docker compose config:

chrome:
    # 3.0.0-dubnium
    privileged: true
    image: selenium/standalone-chrome-debug:3.0.0-dubnium
    ports:
      - '4444'
      - '5900'
    # workaround for Docker Beta, see https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium/issues/227#issuecomment-224865735
    dns: 8.8.4.4
    environment:
      - no_proxy=localhost
    # workaround for https://github.com/elgalu/docker-selenium/issues/20#issuecomment-133011186
    volumes:
      - /dev/shm:/dev/shm
 

Makefile eg. open-chrome

$(OPEN_CMD) vnc://x:secret@$(DOCKER_HOST_IP):$(shell $(DOCKER_COMPOSE) port chrome 5900 | sed 's/[0-9.]*://')
