Do I need chromedriver inside Docker? Or should I pull playwright's image

[alvaroserrrano]

I would like to use a Docker container for an application. I am currently installing chromedriver inside the docker container because the api said "chromedriver needs to be in path". Is this step really necessary? Could that be the reason why I am having a conflict with playwright to which I get the log "please run python -m install playwright" (which does not make sense). I have also seen people say that there is a conflict between playwright and pyppeteer, but I do not think my problem is related to that.

As of right now I am installing requirements as usual and the running python -m playwright install, which I believe is redundant and not really necessary.

Also, I can see that Dockerfile of the api pulls from the microfts/playwright image and then installs python3-pip. Do I have to use this in my Dockerfile? My base image is FROM python3.8. Perhaps I should create a virtual environment inside the container?

Thanks a lot for your help
