Prove a Headless Chromium in the Sandbox
You can rely on:
- Returns only the automation channels that loaded a page served inside the sandbox; when none does, the call is refused.
Not promised: installing a browser in the sandbox.
Loads a page from a server inside the guest in the image’s own headless Chromium
and reads the CDP endpoint: Playwright and CDP on glibc images, CDP on Alpine.
Create the sandbox from an image with Python 3 and Playwright with Chromium (or a
Chromium binary); BoxRouter’s standard image has neither. An image without them, or a sandbox
where no channel passes, such as one with too little memory, is refused with
422 unsupported_feature. Afterwards run browser scripts through commands or processes.
