Some more info: * The idea is to use 3 images in total: ** one for the Servlet container and xwiki in it ** one for the database (mysql, postgresql, oracle, etc) ** one for running the functional tests, by running maven in it. In this image there will be FF, Chrome and all supported browsers installed. Something similar to https://hub.docker.com/r/khozzy/selenium-java-firefox/. The trick is to map the maven test sources inside the container so that the maven inside the container can see them and execute them :) (by mapping the local maven repo of the container to the local maven repo in the host, see ).
