To create a jenkins slave with firefox, a $5 a month droplet from Digital Ocean is more than enough to run automated tests. If you need to set up a Jenkins master, feel free to check out my instructions in github. For this setup, I used Ubuntu 12.04.4 x64 as my linux kernel. Once the droplet is created, ssh into the box and follow the instructions below. Installing Firefox on Ubuntu $ apt-get update $ apt-get install xvfb firefox imagemagick Additional fonts to install for xvfb $ apt-get install xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-scalable xfonts-cyrillic $ apt-get install msttcorefonts cabextract x-ttcidfont-conf Now, let's verify the installation. Enable Xvfb $ Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1280x960x24 & Open Firefox and visit the homepage $ DISPLAY=:1 firefox http://www.sqaessentials.com &  Take a screenshot
$ DISPLAY=:1 import -window root -crop 1264x948+0+0 -resize 200x150 -quality 90 ~/screenshot.jpg Download the screenshot and you should see the browser open to www.sqaessentials.com. The machine is now ready to add to your Jenkins infrastructure. Comments are closed.
