Even though we're running in Docker, the ChromeDriver on Alpine had issues running on my Unraid (Slackware) server, throwing the error:
[1579573867.589][INFO]: RESPONSE InitSession unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location /usr/lib/chromium/chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
I ended up making a Debian-based image as a last ditch effort and it actually worked for some reason. This is just an alternative option for anyone running into the obscure ChromeDriver/Alpine bug.
