So I have been lurking the wiki and the web for 3 hours already. I
managed to install the changedetection using the docker compose (I
have docker desktop windows), but I cant enable the browser-chrome and
playwright-chrome.

The only thing I did was to uncomment the respective rows mentioned on
the wiki on docker-compose and restarted the container. I also
installed Selenium but the instructions is using Firefox.

​

I\`m completely lost on what I need to do. Using python (not docker) I
managed to install it and also install browser-chrome, but got stuck
in playwright-chrome so thats why I started to use docker.

​

Is there a very dumb step by step of what I need to do?

You need to install selenium and playwright-chrome Docker container
and link it with Changedetection.io. It's part of documentation.

Use this docker-compose.yaml:
[https://bpa.st/HVYQ](https://bpa.st/HVYQ)

then just \`docker compose up\`

Hi Thanks, this is how it looks like now my docker.

Still cant use either playwright or webdriver.

​

For webdriver I see that I need to set a env variable somewhere for
WEBDRIVER\_URL since I can only access my selenium through
[http://localhost:4444/ui](http://localhost:4444/ui) but the
changedetection is trying to access the URL http://browser-
chrome:4444/wd/hub

For playwright, I also tried to uncomment row 29 of your file since it
seems to be part of the instructions, but it still dont detect it

Actually I followed the instructions based on Docker (and not docker
compose) and managed to make selenium work.  Playwright is installed,
but now I dont have a dockercomposer file anymore to uncomment the
rows. So a bit lost here.
