ChangeDetection.io & Playwright Configuration with Docker Compose

LSIO Discussion Container Support
1

I had some trouble getting this working and wanted to share the full config that worked for me, in case it helps someone in the future.

I found changedetection.io docs to be a bit difficult to make sense of, and the LSIO image just points to those docs.

Anyway, this in the docker-compose got it up and running:

  changedetection.io:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/changedetection.io:latest
    container_name: changedetection
    environment:
      - PUID=1010
      - PGID=1010
      - TZ=America/New_York
      - BASE_URL= https://changedetection.server.io/
      - PLAYWRIGHT_DRIVER_URL=ws://playwright-chrome:3000
    volumes:
      - /appdata/changedetection/config:/config
    restart: unless-stopped
  playwright-chrome:
      hostname: playwright-chrome
      image: dgtlmoon/sockpuppetbrowser:latest
      restart: unless-stopped
      tmpfs:
        - /tmp    # This just keeps tmp data from being written to disk
      environment:
          - SCREEN_WIDTH=1920
          - SCREEN_HEIGHT=1024
          - SCREEN_DEPTH=16
          - MAX_CONCURRENT_CHROME_PROCESSES=10
          - STATS_REFRESH_SECONDS=120 # Default is 3 seconds which is way too much

I’ve been struggling with getting this Docker container to work with the Playwright or Chrome drivers off and on for months now. Thank you for posting this!

One note: I added the lines below to the first container to make it easily accessible via URL.
