Mount /dev/shm:/dev/shm in Docker for macOS

[Tom Work]

To avoid crashes running Selenium Docker images with Chrome/Firefox, it is recommended to set the volume for the shared memory folder, like `docker run ... -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm`.

In macOS there is no folder `/dev/shm` (just on Linux).

Anyone knows if it's also possible to do that mapping in macOS?

Regards,

Tom

Maybe you'll need extra steps for Mac:

maybe be similar for Windows too, one would have to do some googling around.

Hi Tom,

The command works in the same way, just execute the command shown in the official repo https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium#running-the-images

Cheers,

Diego

Thank you very much for your answers.

I did the "workaround" suggested by David, but I don't like the idea to create that particular folder.

Diego, are you sure the command works the same way, even when macOS doesn't have `/dev/shm`?
