Docker Setup for Browser-Use

This directory contains the optimized Docker build system for browser-use, achieving < 30 second builds.

Quick Start

# Build base images (only needed once or when dependencies change)
./docker/build-base-images.sh

# Build browser-use
docker build -f Dockerfile.fast -t browseruse .

# Or use the standard Dockerfile (slower but self-contained)
docker build -t browseruse .

Files

• Dockerfile - Standard self-contained build (~2 min)
• Dockerfile.fast - Fast build using pre-built base images (~30 sec)
• docker/ - Base image definitions and build script
  • base-images/system/ - Python + minimal system deps
  • base-images/chromium/ - Adds Chromium browser
  • base-images/python-deps/ - Adds Python dependencies
  • build-base-images.sh - Script to build all base images

Performance

Build Type	Time
Standard Dockerfile	~2 minutes
Fast build (with base images)	~30 seconds
Rebuild after code change	~16 seconds
