Trouble Finding chromium-driver Path After Deployment on Fly.io

cwlee · November 6, 2023, 3:48am

I’ve recently deployed a Rails project on Fly.io using fly deploy, and I’m encountering an issue where I cannot locate the chromium-driver path after deployment.

My Dockerfile includes the installation of dependencies, including chromium and chromium-driver. Here’s the relevant snippet:

RUN apt-get update -qq && \
    apt-get install -y \
    chromium \
    chromium-driver \
    xvfb && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

The deployment completes without errors, but when I try to use the chromium-driver, it seems to be missing. Has anyone faced a similar problem, and could you suggest how to ensure chromium-driver is correctly installed and locatable in the Fly.io environment?

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Here’s a Rails Dockerfile that includes chromium:

          # Precompiling assets for production without requiring secret RAILS_MASTER_KEY
          RUN SECRET_KEY_BASE_DUMMY=1 ./bin/rails assets:precompile
          
          
          # Final stage for app image
          FROM base
          
          # Install packages needed for deployment
          RUN apt-get update -qq && \
              apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y chromium chromium-sandbox curl libsqlite3-0 && \
              rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists /var/cache/apt/archives
          
          # Copy built artifacts: gems, application
          COPY --from=build /usr/local/bundle /usr/local/bundle
          COPY --from=build /rails /rails
          
          # Run and own only the runtime files as a non-root user for security
          RUN groupadd --system --gid 1000 rails && \
              useradd rails --uid 1000 --gid 1000 --create-home --shell /bin/bash && \
              mkdir /data && \
