Seleninum Chrome driver session error on docker

Question

I'm using the docker image selenium/standalone-chrome:4.0.0 to run selenium, and yesterday just started to throw errors.

This is are my chrome web driver options:

val chromeOptions = ChromeOptions()

chromeOptions.setHeadless(isHeadless)
chromeOptions.addArguments(
            "--whitelisted-ips",
            "--no-sandbox",
            "--disable-extensions",
            "start-maximized",
            "enable-automation",
            "--disable-infobars",
            "--disable-dev-shm-usage",
            "--disable-browser-side-navigation",
            "--disable-gpu", "window-size=1980,960"
        )

The errors I'm getting are:

It seems like some version(s) of Chrome seem to crash in Docker containers, on certain pages, due to too small /dev/shm.

To solve it, simply mount -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm

Or, longer, create a big shm

Started in privileged mode: docker run --privileged
Fix small /dev/shm size

docker exec $id sudo umount /dev/shm
docker exec $id sudo mount -t tmpfs -o rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=512M tmpfs /dev/shm

Above is taken from here and credit goes to the respective owner.

You can also use Firefox and this should work without any problem.
