because I don't understand the platform thing in selenium, if in any case, selenoid will always run on linux based images

and let's say I don't use selenoid but 2 basic selenium servers, one on a windows, and the other on a linux or mac, I don't see why I should provide the platform capability, since the server IP will be different for the windows and the linux server, so in the end, it is the target host which determines the platform

I am discovering docker, so maybe i'll say something wrong, but I _understood_, that docker use linux based containers except on windows where he can use linux based containers OR more recently windows based container.
But on docker hub, for selenoid images I only see images with "linux/amd64", are you providing windows based images somewhere ?

all our images are Linux-based except these ones: https://github.com/aerokube/windows-images

but anyway we recommend using Linux images where possible as they are faster
J
the verification team in my company will probably accept linux container only for CI
J
when we make final verification for production, they will ask windows I think 🙁

even this article says "Finally, even mainstream browsers like Firefox, Chrome or Opera can have differences while comparing their Windows and Linux versions. "

once they understand that windows images require 2 times more CPU and memory, they will probably change their decision

yes, but it will not work on standard VMs, only on hardware Linux servers

Julien I also recommend using linux, it works on VM but there is a performance drop, so you if you would like to have Selenoid in production also bet on CPU. I took us 2 weeks to have a recordings platform up and believe me it is amazingly stable !!

Here is our experience:
- For dev I have 4/6 threads allocated of an i7-9750, it works fine with 12 FPS HD+.
- For production we have a Ryzen 9 3900XT, no CPU restriction on the containers, 24 FPS and HD+ with videos capture from the container.

if one of selenoid node get downs in between when test case are running can we send it to another selenoid node?

if it goes down, then all running tests are lost
IK
only new sessions requests can go to another one
IK
this is because Selenoid is stateful
ST
Ok
ST
What in case when driver object get null in between due to connectivity issue ?
We again need to make new session request right?

Can we forward session by any way?
