Selenium Chrone WebDriver object hangs in Docker on creation

Trying to initialize a Chrone WebDriver object inside a Docker container and then perform a get() method with a URL.

I have access to the web from docker (can ping www.google.com) and selenium is of latest version (4.16).

What happens, however, is that the moment webdriver.Chrome() gets called, it hangs. Simply hangs, infinitely, without any exceptions and errors.

Does anybody know what causes it and how to get past this problem?

Code I am trying to use below:

import selenium.webdriver.chrome.options as selenium_optionsfrom selenium import webdriveropts = selenium_options.Options()opts.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')opts.add_argument('--no-sandbox')opts.add_argument('--headless')driver = webdriver.Chrome(options = opts) # this hangs indifintely
