I just got it working like this: apt install chromium-chromedriver chromedriver This seems to create a service that listens on port 9515 for standardized commands to remote control a chromium instance. The commands seem to be specified by the W3C: https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver/ https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver/ I got it to open a browser with this curl command: curl -d '{ "desiredCapabilities": { "caps": { "nativeEvents": false, "browserName": "chrome", "version": "", "platform": "ANY" } } }' http://localhost:9515/session I have not yet figured out how to send javascript commands though.
