Run ferrum in an arm64 machine with docker

[devsheva]

How can we run ferrum in a container relying on arm64 machine ? Afaik, at the moment chrome doesn't provide an arm binary for chromium

[route]

Google provides chromium binary for arm64 and chrome for x86-64

Do you have a link ? I tried a lot of stuff, without success. You can simply check https://download-chromium.appspot.com/ and find that there isn't a linux arm64 binary

Also watch out this, maybe I'm wrong. https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/chrome-for-testing?tab=readme-ov-file#json-api-endpoints

[route]

You can install it using snap tool https://snapcraft.io/chromium that's the easy way

I'll give it a try, thanks

this is what i get when i try to run snap inside the container. It's a basic Ubuntu ARM64 image.

snap install chromium
error: cannot communicate with server: Post "http://localhost/v2/snaps/chromium": dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: no such file or directory

[route]

I don't know your setup, something wrong with network

[devsheva]

just pulling ubuntu image and running it, nothing more.

Also i found out this in puppeteer docs. https://pptr.dev/troubleshooting

Chromium currently does not provide arm64 binaries for Linux. There are only binaries for Mac ARM.

Well there's definitely a chromium binary on ubuntu:
