# Docker (Chromeft Node)

> Headless node using Chrome for Testing via Patchright

The **Chromeft Node** uses official [Chrome for Testing](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/chrome-for-testing) builds bundled with [Patchright](https://github.com/nickolay42/patchright). Unlike the [Cloakbrowser Node](/deployment/docker-single-node) which ships a stealth-patched browser, this variant uses unmodified Chrome for Testing — making it a good choice for internal scraping, testing, or sites that don't employ bot detection.

| Bot detection bypass | ✅ Yes                                  | ❌ No                                         |
| Image size           | Smaller (binary downloaded at runtime) | Larger (binary baked into image)             |
| Use case             | Production scraping, anti-bot sites    | Internal tools, testing, non-protected sites |

## Configuration

All environment variables, volume mounts, clustering, and external service setup work identically to the [Cloakbrowser Node](/deployment/docker-single-node). Refer to that page for the full reference.

The only differences:

* Built-in node tags include `chromeft` instead of `cloakbrowser`
* The browser binary comes from Patchright (pinned to the Patchright version in `package.json`)
